C# Combining lines
- by Mike
Hey everybody, this is what I have going on. I have two text files. Umm lets call one A.txt and B.txt.
A.txt is a config file that contains a bunch of folder names, only 1 listing per folder.
B.txt is a directory listing that contains folders names and sizes. But B contains a bunch of listing not just 1 entry.
What I need is if B, contains A. Take all lines in B that contain A and write it out as A|B|B|B ect....
So example:
A.txt:
Apple
Orange
Pear
XBSj
HEROE
B.txt:
Apple|3123123
Apple|3434
Orange|99999999
Orange|1234544
Pear|11
Pear|12
XBSJ|43949
XBSJ|43933
Result.txt:
Apple|3123123|3434
Orange|99999999|1234544
Pear|11|12
XBSJ|43949|43933
This is what I had but it's not really doing what I needed.
string[] combineconfig = File.ReadAllLines(@"C:\a.txt");
foreach (string ccline in combineconfig)
{
string[] readlines = File.ReadAllLines(@"C:\b.txt");
if (readlines.Contains(ccline))
{
foreach (string rdlines in readlines)
{
string[] pslines = rdlines.Split('|');
File.AppendAllText(@"C:\result.txt", ccline + '|' + pslines[0]);
}
}
I know realize it's not going to find the first "if" because it reads the entire line and cant find it. But i still believe my output file will not contain what I need.
