Check string in text document and set correct texture accordingly XNA - Hogtalare1 - Mar 13, 2017

We're currently working on a school project where we are going to make a very simple little game, but here is my problem:

I currently have a text document in which I write coordinates where I want to place a certain sprite using "streamreader" formatted like this: CoordinateX:CoordinateY:texturename.
I have made another classfile called "level" with methods with get and set functions for each value.

Code 
while ((k = blockposition.ReadLine()) != null)

            {

                string[] database = k.Split(':');

                tilestemppos.X = float.Parse(database[1]);

                tilestemppos.Y = float.Parse(database[0]);

                tilestexturess = database[2];

                tilesposlist.Add(new level(tilestemppos.X, tilestemppos.Y,tilestexturess));

            }

Here it adds the strings and floats from the text document into the list "List<level> tilesposlist = new List<level>();".

Code 
for (int i = 0; i < tilesposlist.Count; i++)

            {

                tiles_pos.X = tilesposlist.ElementAt(i).blockpositionX;

                tiles_pos.Y = tilesposlist.ElementAt(i).blockpositionY;

                spriteBatch.Draw(tiles, tiles_pos, Color.White);

            }

Here it draws the "tiles" sprite which is a Texture2d using the correct coordinates.

Now I want the program to check the "tilestexturess" in the text document and change the "tiles" texture to the correct texture from all the textures I have.

I was thinking of having another list where I put all textures and then make it check if the names match. How do I do this in the most simplest form?

Sorry guys just realized I posted in wrong section. If admin sees this. Please close/remove :)

What would be the easiest way to make the program check if the texture file exist? Do I need to put all textures into a list?

It looks like you have the tiletemppos.X taking the Y value and vice versa for the other.
