morning all,
can someone help me find the most efficient way of manipulating a large
file.
i need to replace special characters in a large file and multiple
string.replace functions are causing memory errors.

An efficient way for modifications that will change the length of the
file (i.e. possibly insert or delete in the middle) is to stream from
one file to another, iteratively using a buffer in memory, and working
on the buffer before streaming it out to the second file. It requires
careful buffer management to be sure that the boundaries between buffers
don't affect the outcome. For example, if searching for "foo", be
careful that one buffer doesn't end with "f" and the next one start with
"oo".
For modifications which don't change the length of the file, iteratively
reading into a smallish buffer, searching, and then using
FileStream.Seek & Write to perform updates will work reasonably well -
but not as well as a memory-mapped file, but that would be more awkward
in C#, since there is no memory-mapped file primitive.

Either load it up into a string or character array (with an Encoding
class - and watch for split lead and trail bytes for UTF8 encoding, for
example) or scan through it with a loop, or write a more sophisticated
search such as Boyer-Moore etc.

Hi,
I am new to C#, coming from Delphi. In Delphi, I am using a 3rd party
string handling library that includes some very useful string
functions, in particular I'm interested in BEFORE (return substring
before a pattern), AFTER (return substring after a pattern), and
BETWEEN (return substring between 2 patterns).
My questions are:
1. Can any tell me how I can implement such functionality in C#?
2. Is it possible to add/include function...

Hi,
I need to be able to split large string variables into an array of
lines, each line can be no longer than 70 chars.
The string variables are text, so I would additionally like the lines
to end at the end of a word, if you catch my drift.
For example, I have a large string variable containing the text:
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire

Hello, I'm currently learning string manipulation. I'm curious about
what is the favored way for string manipulation in C, expecially when
strings contain non-ASCII characters. For example, if substrings need
be replaced, or one character needs be changed, what shall I do? Is it
better to convert strings to UCS-32 before manipulation?
But on Windows, wchar_t is 16 bits which isn't enough for characters
which can't be simply encoded...

Hi,
Does anyone knows any good code for string manipulation similar to
RegularExpresion?
I might get a value as string in a different format. Example:
20/02/2006 or 20,02,2006 or 20.02.2006 etc...
And I want to replace the /,.etc character with - (as 20-02-2006)

This is kind of a question about C# and kind of one about the framework.
Hopefully, there's an answer in there somewhere. :)
I'm curious about the status of 32-bit vs 64-bit in C# and the framework
classes. The specific example I'm running into is with respect to byte
arrays and the BitConverter class. In C# you can create arrays larger than
2^32, using the overloaded methods that take 64-bit parameters. But as near

Does my connection string pose a security problem when it is inside the code like this?
Or are connection strings...
