My programs searches the header of input barcode in index file. Get the
record position next to Barcode header. Then moves the file pointer of
products file to reach that record.
My products file contains records as follows:
9N-F1T0153|0020028 20327|Data Switch|EA|00030 900|00000
36-EPSON7753|01034 3600003|Ø*Ù†Ù…Ø ¨Ø± طابعه 500/570|EA|00001200 |00000

while index file for this products file contains the indexes of each barcode:
format: BarcodeHeader (space) RecordStartPosi tion
00200282 0
01034360 55
01338827 121
for first two records file pointer is working file and i can get whole
record by ReadLine(). But from the 3rd record i don't get the whole record
but a part. i realized that this is due to Arabic Text(Unicode Characters)
that exists in second record and therefore file pointer
If the file don't have Arabic Text(Unicode Character) then everything works
fine.
Code Snippet:
this.sr_FmtdFil e.DiscardBuffer edData();
this.sr_FmtdFil e.BaseStream.Po sition = 0;
this.sr_FmtdFil e.BaseStream.Se ek(index , SeekOrigin.Begi n);
while( (record = this.sr_FmtdFil e.ReadLine()) != null )
{
//Code to get desired record.
}
Please help how to handle Arabic Text(Unicode Character) in file pointer
movement.

Arif,
If you have a combination of unicode and ascii characters in the file,
then you will not be able to use a reader. As a matter of fact, I don't see
how you will be able to tell if the characters are unicode or ASCII unless
only that specific field is unicode and it is predictable when this is so.
Regardless, you will not be able to use a stream reader for this. You
will have to go through the file and get the bytes yourself, converting them
when appropriate.
Or, you should just write the whole file in unicode characters to begin
with, and then you can read the lines as you were doing before.
Hope this helps.

And how *exactly* are those records encoded? That's the important bit -
if you can work out the encoding of the file, that would help a lot.
See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/unicode.html for more about
encodings.

How has that been calculated? If it's done on the number of characters
(rather than the number of bytes) then it won't work with
variable-length encodings (such as UTF-8).
Jon
Much thanks Jon,
i was calculating on number of characters. now i test with number of bytes
and it is working fine.
again much thanks Jon for understanding my problem and giving me an idea for
solution.

Thanks Nicholas,
I am sure that there was some mistake in telling my problem. I confused you
with combination of ASCII and Unicode characters because that time i was also
confused with my problem. Sorry for that.
But Jon Skeet understood my problem exactly. He give me idea to do indexing
on number of bytes while i was doing on number of characters.

Hi,
I was asked this question in an interview recently. "How do you

data types in the file, set a base pointer and advance it by 6. I
mean, ptr+6. Another way to ask the same question is how do you move
to the 3rd record in a file (considering that the file is made up of
records).
I told the interviewer that we could do a seek to move to the
specific byte. At that...

Can anyone tell me why this code doesn't work for setting the pointer to the
begining of a file stream?
This is driving me crazy.
At the end of Main1, sString2 is the second line of the file, as if the Seek
never worked.
Shouldn't sString1 and sString2 each contain the first line of the file?
To fix this (as in Main2), I need to create a new reader. Is this
documented behavior, or is this a bug??
