I have a text file containing 10000s records. records are deliminated with comma ','. I read all the data into a string and i need to split the string at every 1000th comma.
Example:- If i had 10000 records then the splitted string array will have 10 records.
Is there any built in function to split at specific location by a character?
Thank You.
see the below example which can be help you. it's a just example just write your own code.
ex:- string str = "a,b,b,c,c,d,d,e,e,f,f,g,g,h,h,i,i,j,j,k,";
//now i want to split with the evry 2 comma
//so my o/p should be display like this
a,b
b,c
c,d
d,e
e,f
f,g
g,h
i,j
j,k
for(int t=0;t<str.Length;t+=4)
{
if(t==str.Length){ break;}
console.WriteLine((str.Substring(t,3) +"\n");
}
Here is a generic split method that takes a character and an integer (n) and splits your string on every nth occurance of the character. Included is a little Main routine that tests it.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
namespace Testing {
class Program {
static void Main(string[] args) {
String test = "This, is, a, test, of, the, comma, splitting, thing, that, will, see, if, we, get, ten, or, not";
string[] lines = SplitOnNth(test, ',', 3);
foreach (string line in lines) {
Console.WriteLine("{0}", line);
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
static String[] SplitOnNth(String toSplit, char splitOn, int n) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.Append("(?<head>");
for (int i = 0; i < n-1; i++) {
sb.Append(String.Format("[^{0}]*{0}", splitOn));
}
sb.Append(String.Format("[^{0}]*){0}", splitOn));
sb.Append("(?<tail>.*)");
Regex r = new Regex(sb.ToString());
List<String> strings = new List<string>();
while (true) {
Match m = r.Match(toSplit);
GroupCollection gc = m.Groups;
if (gc.Count > 2) {
strings.Add(gc["head"].Value);
toSplit = gc["tail"].Value;
} else {
strings.Add(toSplit);
break;
}
}
return strings.ToArray();
}
}
}see the below example which can be help you. it's a just example just write your own code.
ex:- string str = "a,b,b,c,c,d,d,e,e,f,f,g,g,h,h,i,i,j,j,k,"; //now i want to split with the evry 2 comma //so my o/p should be display like this a,b b,c c,d d,e e,f f,g g,h i,j j,k for(int t=0;t<str.Length;t+=4) { if(t==str.Length){ break;} console.WriteLine((str.Substring(t,3) +"\n"); }
Just like to point out that the for loop ensures that t is less than the length of the string, so there is no need for the if to see if t is equal to the length of the string.
This will invert the @Momerath list, but it's still functional:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
namespace DW_412157_CS_CON
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string strTest =
"This, is, a, test, of, the, comma, splitting, thing, that," +
"will, see, if, we, get, ten, or, not";
int i = 0;
int intNumPieces = 6;
List<List<string>> lst_lst_strParts =
strTest.Split(", ".ToCharArray(), StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
.GroupBy(s => (i++ % intNumPieces))
.Select(s => s.ToList()).ToList();
int intHeight = lst_lst_strParts.Count;
int intWidth = lst_lst_strParts[0].Count;
for (int j = 0; j < intWidth; j++)
{
for (int k = 0; k < intHeight; k++)
{
Console.Write(lst_lst_strParts[k][j] + " ");
}
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
}
