I have a text file contains several lines with words, for example like this
cards
door
lounge
dog
window
I want to add a new word into that list with the condition that it does not already exist in the list. For example I want to add wind
or car
I use File.ReadAllText(@"C:\\Temp.txt").Contains(word)
But the problem is window
contains wind
and cards
contain car
Is there any way to compare it uniquely?
If you have not a huge file, you can read it to memory and process it like any array:
var lines = File.ReadAllLines(@"C:\Temp.txt");
if(lines.Any(x=>x == word)
{
//There is a word in the file
}
else
{
//Thee is no word in the file
}
Use File.ReadLine() and check for with String.equals(), dont look for substrings. Something Like this:
while(!reader.EndOfFile0
{
if(String.Compare(reader.ReadLine(),inputString, true) == 0)
{
//do your stuf here
}
}
You should do through Regex match so that you are matching an exact work, and I have made this below as case insensitive.
using ConsoleApplication3;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
public static class Program
{
private static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Read the file and display it line by line.
System.IO.StreamReader file =
new System.IO.StreamReader("c:\\temp\\test.txt");
var line = string.Empty;
string fileData = file.ReadToEnd();
file.Close();
fileData = "newword".InsertSkip(fileData);
StreamWriter fileWrite = new StreamWriter(@"C:\temp\test.txt", false);
fileWrite.Write(fileData);
fileWrite.Flush();
fileWrite.Close();
}
public static string InsertSkip(this string word, string data)
{
var regMatch = @"\b(" + word + @")\b";
Match result = Regex.Match(data, regMatch, RegexOptions.Singleline | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
if (result == null || result.Length == 0)
{
data += Environment.NewLine + word;
}
return data;
}
}
Although I am reading an entire file and writing an entire file back. You can improve the performance by only writing one word rather a whole file again.
you can do something like
string newWord = "your new word";
string textFile = System.IO.File.ReadAllText("text file full path");
if (!textFile.Contains(newWord))
{
textFile = textFile + newWord;
System.IO.File.WriteAllText("text file full path",textFile);
}
