Reading end of file stream in C# problem

1 New Member
Hey all,

I'm trying to make my app read the stream of a text file and begin at the end of the file. Then parse all the lines that get added in the text file by a other app (Its a log file from a game) and display it in a multiple editbox or richeditbox.

Ive tryed somthing like this


private FileStream file;
private StreamReader stream;

public void logInstance()
{
file = new FileStream("f:\ \everquest\\log s\\eqlog_Machia _xegony.txt",
FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read );

stream = new StreamReader(fi le);
stream.BaseStre am.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.End) ;
}

// This is a timer and schould display all new added lines of text to the richeditbox

public void timer_Tick(obje ct sender, EventArgs e)
{
string logString = stream.ReadLine ();

if (logString != null)
{
richTextBox.Tex t += logString + " \n";
}
}

Anyone has a idee how to do this? the above code will display nothing, if i change the seek to begin it will parse the text file trough.

The program run hangs whenever it encounters a word with an accented letter (like rôle or passé) - ie something that's not a "char" with an ASCII code in 0..127 I've searched the ANSI C++ standard, the internet and various text books, but can't see how to workaround this one.

Hi, Thanks in advance for the help. I have been to many websites and tried several solutions to my problem, but have fixed part of it. It's time to come humbly to the newsgroups for help :-) By the way, please don't reply just to tell me that my code isn't optimized and that I should use a delimited database rather than a line by line record. If I had my way, I'd do it differently too.

I read an XML file with a stream reader in VB.Net. When I look at the stream reader output in debug mode (by passing cursor over the stream reader object)the format is a perfect replica of the file as displayed when I open the xml file in VS .net 2003 IDE. When I perform the same procedure in C# the stream reader obkect displays a chaotic mess. Lots of whitespace after and "\r" and "\n" after each element. The problem is that I cannot...

i'm trying to read a file byte by byte (and later alter the data and write it to a 2nd file byte by byte) and running into a problem where it seems to keep reading the same byte over and over again (an endless loop). i thought that BinaryReader.ReadByte advanced to the next byte? i had it time out after 1000 iterations, and keeps outputting the same byte. any help appreciated, my code is below: Imports System.io

Anyone have any idea how I can do the following? I have a connection to an XML file on a site I do not control, getting a string representation of the xml data that I can then feed to my XmlDataSource object (CurrentXMLData): Stream newStream = myWebClient.OpenRead(myStringWebResource); TextReader newReader = new StreamReader(newStream); string newData = newReader.ReadToEnd(); CurrentXMLData.Data = newData;

Hi! I have a program with a class that needs to be able to write itself to a file in clear text format. The file has two integers and vector of struct objects. The struct has a string that can consist of one or more words and a few integers. I'm able to create the file properly, as confimed by viewing it in a text editor, but something goes wrong when I tried to read it. I've made a test program illustrating the problem: #include...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
