I am trying to dump the contents of a file into another file using c#. Not the entire content but only specific set of lines. I read the file into an array.
Now what I want to do is I want to remove certain number of lines, say from a total of 50 lines of file, first 10 lines and bottom 20 lines are to be excluded.
My code looks like
System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter(#"C:\manoj\File.txt");
string[] lines = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(#"C:\manoj\sample.txt");
for (i = 10; i <= 30; i++)
{
foreach(string line in lines)
{
file.writeline(line[i]);
}
}
Index is out of bound for the array is the error that I am getting.
Can someone please advise me?
You are accessing, for each line of the file, to each char from the 10th to the 30th.
At the first line containing less than 30 char, the program raise the error you get
You should not be nesting the loop that counts to 30 with the loop that iterates over the lines in your file. Try this
var total_lines = lines.Count;
var linecount = 0;
foreach(string line in lines) {
linecount ++;
if (linecount >= 10 || linecount <= total_lines - 20) {
file.writeline(line);
}
}
This uses the linecount variable to count your lines, and then selectively outputs based on the value of that variable.

I have a text file that looks like this
Words Words

Words Words
1 34.4e+1
2 34.3e+1
3 34.2e+1
4 34.1e+1.... // and so on
I need to get the string number and concert it to decimal/double and then send it to an array where I can the use the array outside of the for loop to get the average via Enumerable.Chunk
decimal[] raw = new decimal[] { };
decimal[] rawAvgList = new decimal[] { };
decimal RawAvg = 0m;
try
{
string bPath = aPath + "\\" + fileName.Name + "\\textfilename.txt";
string[] readText = File.ReadAllLines(bPath);
readText = readText.Skip(3).ToArray();
foreach (var line in readText)
{
raw = new decimal[] { Decimal.Parse(line.Substring(9).ToString(), style1) };
for (int i = 0; i < raw.Length; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} \t {1}", raw[i], i++);
}
}
rawAvgList = raw.Chunk(20).Select(chunk => chunk.Average()).ToArray();
RawAvg = rawAvgList.Average();
}
So for when I call the array outside of the loop it only grabs the last number in the text file. Am I calling the information wrong? I swear I have tried all the different way to call the numbers from the text file and I just keep running into errors. The error range from it not liking me using skip and substring at the same time or and enumerable error where it returned the error and not the number. Anything to help, Thanks!
You are assigning the variable raw to a new value on each loop iteration, wiping out any value that was stored previously. The end result is that after the loop terminates, it will only contain the value from the last line in the file as you are seeing.
You can declare raw as a List<decimal> instead, then within the loop, you would do
raw.Add(Decimal.Parse(line.Substring(9).ToString(), style1));
This way, once the loop finishes, you'll have all the numbers and not just the last one.
I know how to read through all lines of a file and replace a selected line when a certain sequence of characters is found. The issue that I'm having at the moment is that I'm stuck with a structure that has no unique string to search for except for the main class name. So for example I'd know that the name of the class is "List_of_boats" and the structure tells me that 11 lines underneath that line is the value "items=2;" which I need to change to a certain value, depending on the amount of items I want to insert there.
Is there a way to use the foreach function or something to do this? I have provided some code that I've already got so far but I'm kind of stuck now.
var lines = File.ReadAllLines(fileToMerge);
var linID = 0;
foreach (var line in lines) {
if (line.Contains("ace_arsenal_saved_loadouts")) {
var newlinID = linID + 11; //go from ace_arsenal_saved_loadouts to "items=x;" to change number of items.
}
linID = linID + 1;
}
Convert the enumerable to an array, and loop through it by index:
var lines = File.ReadAllLines(fileToMerge).ToArray();
for (var linID = 0; linID < lines.Length; linID++) {
var line = lines[linID];
if (line.Contains("ace_arsenal_saved_loadouts")) {
var newlinID = linID + 11; //go from ace_arsenal_saved_loadouts to "items=x;" to change number of items.
}
}
My testerfile contains:
processes
deleting
agreed
And this the code in C#
PorterStemmer testing = new PorterStemmer();
string temp,stemmed;
string[] lines = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(#"C:\\Users\\PJM\\Documents\\project\\testerfile.txt");
System.Console.WriteLine("Contents of testerfile.txt = ");
for (int i = 0; i <2; i++)
{
temp = lines[i];
stemmed = testing.StemWord(temp);
System.IO.File.WriteAllText(#"C:\\Users\\PJM\\Documents\\project\\testerfile3.txt", stemmed);
Console.WriteLine("\t" + stemmed);
}
After running the code, the testerfile3 contains only "agre" .
So my problem here is that I want each word in the string array to be processed seperately i.e. I am having problem accessing string array. Is there any way to access every index in the string array?
From the documentation of WriteAllText:
If the target file already exists, it is overwritten.
so each iteration in your for loop overwrites the file, and you're only left with the text from the last iteration.
you can use System.IO.File.AppendAllText instead
also, you can use the array's Length property to loop through all words for (int i = 0; i < lines.Length; i++)
Alternatively, instead of the for-loop you can use LINQ's Select to project the non-stemmed line to the stemmed one and use AppendAllLines to write the results:
System.IO.File.AppendAllLines(#"C:\\Users\\PJM\\Documents\\project\\testerfile3.txt", lines.Select(l => testing.StemWord(l)));
I would like to consecutively read from a text file that is generated by my program. The problem is that after parsing the file for the first time, my program reads the last line of the file before it can begin re-parsing, which causes it to accumulates unwanted data.
3 photos: first is creating tournament and showing points, second is showing text file and the third is showing that TeamA got more 3 points
StreamReader = new StreamReader("Torneios.txt");
torneios = 0;
while (!rd.EndOfStream)
{
string line = rd.ReadLine();
if (line == "Tournament")
{
torneios++;
}
else
{
string[] arr = line.Split('-');
equipaAA = arr[0];
equipaBB = arr[1];
res = Convert.ToChar(arr[2]);
}
}
rd.Close();
That is what I'm using at the moment.
To avoid mistakes like these, I highly recommend using File.ReadAllText or File.ReadAllLines unless you are using large files (in which case they are not good choices), here is an example of an implementation of such:
string result = File.ReadAllText("textfilename.txt");
Regarding your particular code, an example using File.ReadAllLines which achieves this is:
string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines("textfilename.txt");
for(int i = 0; i < lines.Length; i++)
{
string line = lines[i];
//Do whatever you want here
}
Just to make it clear, this is not a good idea if the files you intend to read from are large (such as binary files).
The program helps users to parse a text file by grouping certain part of the text files into "sections" array.
So the question is "Are there any methods to find out the line numbers/position within the array?" The program utilizes a foreach loop to read the "sections" array.
May someone please advise on the codes? Thanks!
namespace Testing
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
TextReader tr = new StreamReader(#"C:\Test\new.txt");
String SplitBy = "----------------------------------------";
// Skip 5 lines of the original text file
for(var i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
tr.ReadLine();
}
// Read the reststring
String fullLog = tr.ReadToEnd();
String[] sections = fullLog.Split(new string[] { SplitBy }, StringSplitOptions.None);
//String[] lines = sections.Skip(5).ToArray();
int t = 0;
// Tried using foreach (String r in sections.skip(4)) but skips sections instead of the Text lines found within each sections
foreach (String r in sections)
{
Console.WriteLine("The times are : " + t);
// Is there a way to know or get the "r" line number?
Console.WriteLine(r);
Console.WriteLine("============================================================");
t++;
}
}
}
}
A foreach loop doesn't have a loop counter of any kind. You can keep your own counter:
int number = 1;
foreach (var element in collection) {
// Do something with element and number,
number++;
}
or, perhaps easier, make use of LINQ's Enumerable.Select that gives you the current index:
var numberedElements = collection.Select((element, index) => new { element, index });
with numberedElements being a collection of anonymous type instances with properties element and index. In the case a file you can do this:
var numberedLines = File.ReadLines(filename)
.Select((Line,Number) => new { Line, Number });
with the advantage that the whole thing is processed lazily, so it will only read the parts of the file into memory that you actually use.
As far as I know, there is not a way to know which line number you are at within the file. You'd either have to keep track of the lines yourself, or read the file again until you get to that line and count along the way.
Edit:
So you're trying to get the line number of a string inside the array after the master string's been split by the SplitBy?
If there's a specific delimiter in that sub string, you could split it again - although, this might not give you what you're looking for, except...
You're essentially back at square one.
What you could do is try splitting the section string by newline characters. This should spit it out into an array that corresponds with line numbers inside the string.
Yes, you can use a for loop instead of foreach. Also, if you know the file isn't going to be too large, you can read all of the lines into an array with:
string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(#"C:\Test\new.txt");
Well, don't use a foreach, use a for loop
for( int i = 0; i < sections.Length; ++ )
{
string section = sections[i];
int lineNum = i + 1;
}
You can of course maintain a counter when using a foreach loop as well, but there is no reason to since you have the standard for loop at your disposal which is made for this sort of thing.
Of course, this won't necessarily give you the line number of the string in the text file unless you split on Environment.NewLine. You are splitting on a large number of '-' characters and I have no idea how your file is structured. You'll likely end up underestimating the line number because all of the '---' bits will be discarded.
Not as your code is written. You must track the line number for yourself. Problematic areas of your code:
You skip 5 lines at the beginning of your code, you must track this.
Using the Split method, you are potentially "removing" lines from the original collection of lines. You must find away to know how many splits you have made, because they are an original part of the line count.
Rather than taking the approach you have, I suggest doing the parsing and searching within a classic indexed for-loop that visits each line of the file. This probably means giving up conveniences like Split, and rather looking for markers in the file manually with e.g. IndexOf.
I've got a much simpler solution to the questions after reading through all the answers yesterday.
As the string had a newline after each line, it is possible to split the strings and convert it into a new array which then is possible to find out the line number according to the array position.
The Codes:
foreach (String r in sections)
{
Console.WriteLine("The times are : " + t);
IList<String> names = r.Split('\n').ToList<String>();
}
