Hello,
May I ask what built-in functions available out there in C# to search
for a particular filename input from the user at runtime ?
I am completely new to system thingies, so please help beginner. I
appreciate any answers from you.

Hi Petrosky,
I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for -- do you want the user to
browse for a file on the system using a GUI? If so, then check out the
OpenFileDialog class. For example:
OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog( );
DialogResult dr = ofd.ShowDialog( );
if (dr == DialogResult.OK )
{
string filename = ofd.FileName;
MessageBox.Show (filename);
}

Sounds like your looking to find a the location of a file given the name
If so, then you could simply recursively search the drives, checking for
filenames that match. http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/RecursionInCSharp.asp http://www.codeproject.com/cs/files/findallfiles.asp

If you want to check that a file/directory exists then you can use the File
class:
using System.IO;
if (File.Exists(@" c:\test.dat")). ..
if (Directory.Exis ts(@"c:\myfolde r"))...
If you want information on the file (size, modify time etc.) then take a
look at the FileInfo class:
FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(@"c:\t est.dat");
fi.Length

Petrosky,
I think you are looking for System.IO.Direc tory.GetFiles. This method can
look for files using wildcards.

Hi!
I need to read a file (line-by-line) in reverse order, without reading the
whole file into memory first.
Is there an easy way of doing this? As in, is there a PHP function I could
use?
The solution has to be platform independent, so "popen("tac $filename")...
wouldn't work.

Hi,
I have an extension in which a file object is created in python and
passed down to a c extension which attempts to read from it or write
to it. Writing to the file pointer seems to work okay, but reading
from it results in EBADF. It also causes python to crash on exit.
I've attached the minimal (I think) c code, python code, build script,
build log, and run log. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Hello all!
I have come on to a problem for which I am not able to find a solution

What I am trying to do is reading a log-file with a size of 1.3 GB.
When reading it using fread() or the Visual C specific(?) read() they
return that the number of bytes read equals the number of bytes
requested, however all of the bytes read turn out to have a value of
zero (the file contains other values). When using the exact same...
