Beneath here i described a example Scenario:
"FileA-Database.txt" contains the following names:
KB200
KB300
KB400
"FileB-Slave.txt" contains the following names:
KB600
KB200
KB400
KB700
I want to compare the "FileA-Database.txt" with "FileB-Slave.txt" and let the missing values be filled in automatically in the "FileA-Database.txt" file also i need to display the missing values in a text file called "Results.txt".
The code needs to be compatible with C# (framework 4.0+) please!.
I need a simple approach, mine doesnt work exactly the way i want it to:
private void button_compare_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string fileA, fileB, fileC;
fileA = "database-critical.txt";
fileB = "patchlist.txt";
fileC = "result.txt";
string alphaFilePath = fileA;
List<string> alphaFileContent = new List<string>();
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(alphaFilePath, FileMode.Open))
using(StreamReader rdr = new StreamReader(fs))
{
while(!rdr.EndOfStream)
{
alphaFileContent.Add(rdr.ReadLine());
}
}
string betaFilePath = fileB;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(betaFilePath, FileMode.Open))
using (StreamReader rdr = new StreamReader(fs))
{
while(! rdr.EndOfStream)
{
string[] betaFileLine = rdr.ReadLine().Split(Convert.ToChar(","));
if (alphaFileContent.Contains(betaFileLine[0]))
{
sb.AppendLine(String.Format("{0}", betaFileLine[0]));
}
}
}
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(fileC, FileMode.Create))
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(fs))
{
writer.Write(sb.ToString());
}
}
//End
}
