    The document discusses file manipulation in C# using classes in the System.IO namespace. It covers reading from and writing to files using FileStreams, and describes commonly used file access classes like File and FileStream. It provides code examples for writing text to a new file, reading the entire text or individual lines from an existing file, and appending to an existing file using StreamReader and StreamWriter.

    Manipulating Files
    Introduction

    • A file is a collection of data stored in a disk with a specific name and


    a directory path. When a file is opened for reading or writing, it
    becomes a stream.

    • The stream is basically the sequence of bytes passing through the


    communication path. There are two main streams: the input stream
    and the output stream.
    Cont..

    • The input stream is used for reading data from file (read operation)
    and the output stream is used for writing into the file (write
    operation).

    • C# I/O Classes: The System. IO namespace has various classes that are
    used for performing numerous operations with files, such as creating
    and deleting files, reading from or writing to a file, closing a file etc.
    Cont..

    • The following table shows some commonly used non-abstract


    classes in the System. IO namespace:
    Cont..
    The FileStream Class
    • The FileStream class in the System. IO namespace helps in reading
    from, writing to and closing files. This class derives from the
    abstract class Stream.

    • You need to create a FileStream object to create a new file or open


    an existing file. The syntax for creating a FileStream object is as
    follows:
    Cont..

    • For example, we create a FileStream object F for reading a file


    named sample.txt as shown:
    Cont..

    • FileMode: The FileMode enumerator defines various methods for opening files.
    The members of the FileMode enumerator are:

    • Append: It opens an existing file and puts cursor at the end of file, or
    creates the file, if the file does not exist.

    • Create: It creates a new file.

    • CreateNew: It specifies to the operating system, that it should create a

    • new file
    Cont..

    •Open: It opens an existing file.

    •OpenOrCreate: It specifies to the operating system that it should


    open a file if it exists, otherwise it should create a new file.

    •Truncate: It opens an existing file and truncates its size to zero


    bytes.
    Cont..
    • FileAccess: FileAccess enumerators have members: Read, ReadWrite
    and Write.

    • FileShare: FileShare enumerators have the following members:

    •Read: It allows opening the file for reading

    •ReadWrite: It allows opening the file for reading and writing

    •Write: It allows opening the file for writing


    Cont..
    Writing a file
    • The c# System.IO.File class Library Provides methods that enable a
    program to easily write text into a file on computer.

    • The File.WriteAllText() method simply requires two arguments to


    specify the text file path and the string to write.

    • File.Exists( ) method ensures specified text file does not already exis

    • This will return true when file is found ,otherwise it will return false
    Cont..

    • Press F5 to run the application and see a text file written on Your
    desktop or see an error.
    Reading text and lines
    • The C# System.IO.File class library provides a ReadAllText() method
    that can be used to read text from an existing file and assign its entire
    contents to a string variable.

    • Additionally, the System.IO.File class has a ReadAllLines() method, which


    can be used to assign each line of a text file to an individual element of a
    string array.
    Reading text

    • Appending to a file
    • StreamReader
    • StreamWritter
