I have a problem where some data is being eliminated.
The problem is that the data contains signed numeric fields (the low-order
byte of a negative number uses the first 4 bits as a sign and the last 4
bits as the low-order digit. This produces byte values higher than X'7F'. To
be more specific these values are hexadecimal X'B0' through X'B9'. It
appears the program is eliminating any byte values greater than X'7F', thus
shortening the record. I am using StreamReader and StreamWriter for the
I/O.
Is it a possibility that the data contained in the file is written in UTF-7
and the code needs to be adjusted to UTF-8??? Here is how I am opening the
input file:
Public Function ReadInFile() As Integer
Dim reader As StreamReader
Dim output As String = String.Empty
Try
reader = File.OpenText(i nFileName)
output = String.Format(" Input file {0} is opened successfully",
inFileName)
Logger.Log(outp ut)
Dim line As String = reader.ReadLine ()
While Not line Is Nothing
Dim record As CGIRecordIn = New CGIRecordIn(lin e)
inRecords.Add(r ecord)
line = reader.ReadLine ()
End While
Catch ex As Exception
output = String.Format(" Failed reading {0}", inFileName)
Logger.Log(outp ut)
Finally
reader.Close()
End Try
ReadInFile = inRecords.Count
output = String.Format(" Read {0} valid records from input file",
ReadInFile)
Logger.Log(outp ut)
End Function
Here is how I am opening the output file:
Public Sub WriteOutFile()
Dim recordOut As CGIRecordOut
Dim writer As StreamWriter
Dim output As String
Try
writer = File.CreateText (outFileName)
output = String.Format(" Output file {0} is opened successfully
for writing", outFileName)
Logger.Log(outp ut)
For Each recordOut In outRecords
recordOut.Build ()
writer.WriteLin e(recordOut.Rec )
Next
Catch ex As Exception
output = String.Format(" Failed writing to {0}", outFileName)
Logger.Log(outp ut)
Finally
writer.Close()
End Try
Logger.Log("Fin ished writing output file")
End Sub
I am not too clear as to the parameter that is needed to tell VB.NET that
the file is being opened as UTF-8 and written in the same format. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! 2 3104

Might want to look into

and

Dim writer As New StreamWriter(ou tFilename, False,

That might do the trick. I apologize for being too darn tired to test right

Using vb.net, I am using Streamreader to read a text file and searching for a
line to delete, the I close the file and open it as a streamwriter so I can
put the new file back to disk without the line that I deleted. Can someone
tell me how I can do this without having to close the file first before
switching to streamwriter, because closing the file allows someone else to
grab the file before I put the new information back. Thanks if any...

Hi,
please help.
Sounds so simple. We receive textfiles (customer orders) as e-mail
attachment. These textfiles contain a simple structure of orders, like:
custno, itemno, qty, text
Since these textfile are made on different systems, the field "text" causes
some trouble.

Everything works OK, BUT in FEW lines of file, TextLine is "" althogh they
are written correctly in New File ????? (I don't understand at all).

Hello there,
I am having some problem with using StreamWriter object in aspnet
application. The thing is when i use the streamwriter in an aspnet page the
code gets executed fine but its terminating the session. I think this is a

in which the application tries to create a file and writes to that file,
thanks, Ramendra

I have installed the Visual C# 2005 Code Snippets, and the snippets
for file handling use StreamReader and StreamWriter, instead of
System.IO.File.*. VB 2005 code snippets don't use these. Why are
they suggesting the use of these classes instead of the fundamental
File methods? Are they better? I thought code snippets were supposed
show things in the easy / simple way.

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:
