How to open a large text file in C#
- by desmati
I have a text file that contains about 100000 articles.
The structure of file is:
BEGIN OF FILE
.Document ID 42944-YEAR:5
.Date 03\08\11
.Cat political
Article Content 1
.Document ID 42945-YEAR:5
.Date 03\08\11
.Cat political
Article Content 2
END OF FILE
I want to open this file in c# for processing it line by line.
I tried this code:
String[] FileLines = File.ReadAllText(TB_SourceFile.Text).Split(Environment.NewLine.ToCharArray());
But it says:
Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.
The question is How can I open this file and read it line by line.
File Size: 564 MB (591,886,626 bytes)
File Encoding: UTF-8
File contains Unicode characters.
