Newbie Question: Read and Process a List of Text Files
- by johnv
I'm completely new to .NET and am trying as a first step to write a text processing program. The task is simple: I have a list of 10,000 text files stored in one folder, and I'm trying to read each one, store it as a string variable, then run it through a series of functions, then save the final output to another folder. So far I can only manage to manually input the file path like this (in VB.NET):
Dim tRead As System.IO.StreamReader
Public Function ReadFile() As String
Dim EntireFile As String
tRead = File.OpenText("c:\textexample\00001.txt")
EntireFile = tRead.ReadToEnd
Return EntireFile
End Function
Public Function Step1()
.....
End Function
Public Function Step2()
.....
End Function
..............
I'm wondering, therefore, if there's a way to automate this process. Perhaps for example store all input file path into a text file then read each entry at a time, then save the final output into the save path, again listed in a text file.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
