Hi again,
Thank you for your suggestions.
I was able to write and read to a file. Just one more thing, how do I
check
for end of file?
I have to read the file and print the data onto a report.
Thank you,
Celia

Hi Again: If you are going to be writing often to your file you will want
to
use the
FileInfo Class instead of the File Class. It is pretty much the same
except
that it is an instance class, it does not require a security check every
time it is called and can be made threqad safe me thinks.If you are just
logging errors or something that you don't care about performance with
then
the File class is the way to go since you will not have to instantiate the
class in your code but it will run slower.

Hi:
First, I don't think I saw your file type, the ".txt" file type extension
in the file path for your file if I remember and that would throw an
exception. Below is the MSDN Doc stuff I pulled from the File Class
Definition that I thought might help. The complete document can be found
at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143356.aspx
if you want to read up on the File Class.
Here is the copied stuff for the CSharp version:
Copy
using System;
using System.IO;
using
System.Text;
class
Test
{
public static void
Main()
{
string path = @"c:\temp\MyTest.txt"
;
// RtNote, notice the .txt file extension in the above file path
// Also, note the use of the @ sign as Jamal identified in a prior post.
// This text is added only once to the file.
if
(!File.Exists(path))
{
// Create a file to write to.
string createText = "Hello and Welcome"
+ Environment.NewLine;
File.WriteAllText(path, createText);
}
// This text is always added, making the file longer over time
// if it is not deleted.
string appendText = "This is extra text"
+ Environment.NewLine;
File.AppendAllText(path, appendText);
// Open the file to read from.
string
readText = File.ReadAllText(path);
Console.WriteLine(readText);
}
}

In C#, you do not have to double the backslash characters if you precede
the string literal with the @ symbol. Just put that symbol immediately
before the initial quote mark.

Hello,
you need to escape your \ by doing \\. So, it'll look like:
C:\\myfolder1\\myfolder2...

Hi Varun,
I tried writing to a file, but the comiler does not like the ?
\. The following is what I coded.
File.AppendAllText(C:\Documents and Settings\celia\My Documents\Visual
Studio\Projects\TestCode,Data);
It gives me an error on the \. Do you know what I need to do so it
will
except the \?
Thanks,
Celia
