I want my program to read from two text files into one List<T>
.
The List<T>
is sorting and cleaning duplicates.
I want the List<T>
to save (after sorting and cleaning) to a txt file.
But when I looked in the result txt file, I found this message:
System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.String]
Does anyone have an idea how I could fix this error?
Here is my code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
namespace Uniqpass
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
String pfad = "C:\\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\Bektas\\Desktop\\test\\";
String pfad2 = "C:\\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\Bektas\\Desktop\\test\\";
String speichern = "C:\\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\Bektas\\Desktop\\test\\ausgabe.txt";
String datei = "text1.txt";
String datei2 = "text2.txt";
try
{
//Einlesen TxT 1
List<String> pass1 = new List<String>();
StreamReader sr1 = new StreamReader(pfad + datei);
while (sr1.Peek() > -1)
{
pass1.Add(sr1.ReadLine());
}
sr1.Close();
//Einlesen TxT 2
StreamReader sr2 = new StreamReader(pfad2 + datei2);
while (sr2.Peek() > -1)
{
pass1.Add(sr2.ReadLine());
}
sr2.Close();
List<String> ausgabeListe = pass1.Distinct().ToList();
ausgabeListe.Sort();
ausgabeListe.ForEach(Console.WriteLine);
StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter(speichern);
file.WriteLine(ausgabeListe);
file.Close();
}
catch (Exception)
{
Console.WriteLine("Error");
}
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
There's a handy little method File.WriteAllLines -- no need to open a StreamWriter
yourself:
In .net 4:
File.WriteAllLines(speichern, ausgabeListe);
In .net 3.5:
File.WriteAllLines(speichern, ausgabeListe.ToArray());
Likewise, you could replace your reading logic with File.ReadAllLines, which returns an array of strings (use ToList()
on that if you want a List<string>
).
So, in fact, your complete code could be reduced to:
// Input
List<String> data = File.ReadAllLines(pfad + datei)
.Concat(File.ReadAllLines(pfad2 + datei2))
.Distinct().ToList();
// Processing
data.Sort();
// Output
data.ForEach(Console.WriteLine);
File.WriteAllLines(speichern, data);
