Searching for words in a string and comparing them

I can't come up with a word search code that would still output the word when the position of the word changes
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] arg)
{
Console.OutputEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode;
Console.InputEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode;
var srd = new MultiSet<Garders>()
{
new Garders("ірис, троянда, айстра, півонія, жоржин"),
new Garders("ірис, троянда, айстра, півонія, жоржин, хризантема, гладіолус"),
new Garders("ірис, троянда, айстра, півонія, гладіолус")
};
MultiSet<Garders>.Enumerator e = srd.GetEnumerator();
string[] temp = new string[3];
for (int i = 0; i < temp.Length; i++)
{
e.MoveNext();
temp[i] = e.Current.flower;
}
e.Reset();
while (e.MoveNext())
{
string[] srt = e.Current.flower.Split();
foreach (var item in srt)
{
if (temp[0].Contains(item) == temp[1].Contains(item)
&& temp[1].Contains(item) == temp[2].Contains(item))
Console.WriteLine(item);
}
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
}
}
My code only outputs the same words if they are in the same positions

You have written very complex logic, it should be very easy if you read the problem statement carefully.
Based on the discussion in a comment, you want to compare two collections whether they have the same items in the same order.
You could use List.
and compare like this.
List<string> ls1 = new List<string>() { "1", "2"};
List<string> ls2 = new List<string>() { "1", "2" };
bool isEqual = ls1.SequenceEqual(ls2);

get line number of string in file C#

That code makes filter on the files with the regular expression, and to shape the results. But how can I get a line number of each matches in the file?
I have no idea how to do it...
Please help me
class QueryWithRegEx
enter code here
IEnumerable<System.IO.FileInfo> fileList = GetFiles(startFolder);
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex searchTerm =
new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(#"Visual (Basic|C#|C\+\+|Studio)");
var queryMatchingFiles =
from file in fileList
where file.Extension == ".htm"
let fileText = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(file.FullName)
let matches = searchTerm.Matches(fileText)
where matches.Count > 0
select new
{
name = file.FullName,
matchedValues = from System.Text.RegularExpressions.Match match in matches
select match.Value
};
Console.WriteLine("The term \"{0}\" was found in:", searchTerm.ToString());
foreach (var v in queryMatchingFiles)
{
string s = v.name.Substring(startFolder.Length - 1);
Console.WriteLine(s);
foreach (var v2 in v.matchedValues)
{
Console.WriteLine(" " + v2);
}
}
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit");
Console.ReadKey();
}
static IEnumerable<System.IO.FileInfo> GetFiles(string path)
{
...}

Give this a go:
var queryMatchingFiles =
from file in Directory.GetFiles(startFolder)
let fi = new FileInfo(file)
where fi.Extension == ".htm"
from line in File.ReadLines(file).Select((text, index) => (text, index))
let match = searchTerm.Match(line.text)
where match.Success
select new
{
name = file,
line = line.text,
number = line.index + 1
};

You can Understand from this example:
Read lines number 3 from string
string line = File.ReadLines(FileName).Skip(14).Take(1).First();
Read text from a certain line number from string
string GetLine(string text, int lineNo)
{
string[] lines = text.Replace("\r","").Split('\n');
return lines.Length >= lineNo ? lines[lineNo-1] : null;
}

Retrieving the line number from a Regex match can be tricky, I'd use the following approach:
private static void FindMatches(string startFolder)
{
var searchTerm = new Regex(#"Visual (Basic|C#|C\+\+|Studio)");
foreach (var file in Directory.GetFiles(startFolder, "*.htm"))
{
using (var reader = new StreamReader(file))
{
int lineNumber = 1;
string lineText;
while ((lineText = reader.ReadLine()) != null)
{
foreach (var match in searchTerm.Matches(lineText).Cast<Match>())
{
Console.WriteLine($"Match found: <{match.Value}> in file <{file}>, line <{lineNumber}>");
}
lineNumber++;
}
}
}
}

binary search in a sorted list in c#

I am retrieving client id\ drum id from a file and storing them in a list.
then taking the client id and storing it in another list.
I need to display the client id that the user specifies (input_id) on a Datagrid.
I need to get all the occurrences of this specific id using binary search.
the file is already sorted.
I need first to find the occurrences of input_id in id_list.
The question is: how to find all the occurrences of input_id in the sorted list id_list using binary search?
using(StreamReader sr= new StreamReader(path))
{
List<string> id_list = new List<string>();
List<string> all_list= new List<string>();
List<int> indexes = new List<int>();
string line = sr.ReadLine();
line = sr.ReadLine();
while (line != null)
{
all_list.Add(line);
string[] break1 = line.Split('/');
id_list.Add(break1[0]);
line = sr.ReadLine();
}
}
string input_id = textBox1.Text;
Data in the file:
client id/drum id
-----------------
123/321
231/3213
321/213123 ...

If the requirement was to use binary search I would create a custom class with a comparer, and then find an element and loop forward/backward to get any other elements. Like:
static void Main(string[] args
{
var path = #"file path...";
// read all the Ids from the file.
var id_list = File.ReadLines(path).Select(x => new Drum
{
ClientId = x.Split('/').First(),
DrumId = x.Split('/').Last()
}).OrderBy(o => o.ClientId).ToList();
var find = new Drum { ClientId = "231" };
var index = id_list.BinarySearch(find, new DrumComparer());
if (index != -1)
{
List<Drum> matches = new List<Drum>();
matches.Add(id_list[index]);
//get previous matches
for (int i = index - 1; i > 0; i--)
{
if (id_list[i].ClientId == find.ClientId)
matches.Add(id_list[i]);
else
break;
}
//get forward matches
for (int i = index + 1; i < id_list.Count; i++)
{
if (id_list[i].ClientId == find.ClientId)
matches.Add(id_list[i]);
else
break;
}
}
}
public class Drum
{
public string DrumId { get; set; }
public string ClientId { get; set; }
}
public class DrumComparer : Comparer<Drum>
{
public override int Compare(Drum x, Drum y) =>
x.ClientId.CompareTo(y.ClientId);
}

If i understand you question right then this should be a simple where stats.
// read all the Ids from the file.
var Id_list = File.ReadLines(path).Select(x => new {
ClientId = x.Split('/').First(),
DrumId = x.Split('/').Last()
}).ToList();
var foundIds = Id_list.Where(x => x.ClientId == input_id);

Accessing dictionary value element when there are multiple values

foreach (var file in d.GetFiles("*.csv"))
{
using (var reader = new StreamReader(file.FullName))
{
List<string> columns = new List<string>();
string colLine = File.ReadLines(file.FullName).First(); // gets the first line from file.
columns = colLine.Split(',').ToList();
reader.ReadLine(); // skip first line
dynamic x = new ExpandoObject();
var eoa = (IDictionary<string, object>)x;
while (!reader.EndOfStream)
{
var line = reader.ReadLine();
var values = line.Split(',');
for (int idx = 0; idx < values.Length; idx++)
{
if (values[idx] == "\"\"")
{
values[idx] = "[BLANK]";
}
}
int i = 0;
foreach (var value in values)
{
List<string> val = new List<string>();
val.Add(value);
if (!eoa.ContainsKey(columns.ElementAt(i)))
{
eoa.Add(columns.ElementAt(i), val);
}
else
{
List<string> overwrite = new List<string>();
var curr = eoa[columns.ElementAt(i)];
foreach (var v in (dynamic)curr)
{
overwrite.Add(v);
}
overwrite.Add(value);
eoa[columns.ElementAt(i)] = overwrite;
}
i++;
}
}
using (StreamWriter outFile = new StreamWriter(path + #"\output.txt"))
{
foreach (var entry in eoa)
{
var test = entry.Value as List;
outFile.Write("{0}:{1} ", entry.Key, entry.Value);
}
}
}
}
I'm currently unable to get the value of an index belonging to the test variable. I try doing test[0] but get the error "Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type 'object'. I am curious what other ways I can attempt so that these list elements can be accessed which belong to the Value of my dictionary.

Your value seems to be of type object, and as the error suggests you can't directly apply indexing to it. You have to cast it to a List<string> to use test[0].

How do I make List of Lists? And then add to each List values?

class ExtractLinks
{
WebClient contents = new WebClient();
string cont;
List<string> links = new List<string>();
List<string> FilteredLinks = new List<string>();
List<string> Respones = new List<string>();
List<List<string>> Threads = new List<List<string>>();
public void Links(string FileName)
{
HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
doc.Load(FileName);
foreach (HtmlNode link in doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//a[#href]"))
{
HtmlAttribute att = link.Attributes["href"];
if (att.Value.StartsWith("http://rotter.net/forum/scoops1"))
{
links.Add(att.Value);
}
}
for (int i = 0; i < links.Count; i++)
{
int f = links[i].IndexOf("#");
string test = links[i].Substring(0, f);
FilteredLinks.Add(test);
}
for (int i = 0; i < FilteredLinks.Count; i++)
{
contents.Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(1255);
cont = contents.DownloadString(FilteredLinks[i]);
GetResponsers(cont);
}
}
private void GetResponsers(string contents)
{
int f = 0;
int startPos = 0;
while (true)
{
string firstTag = "<FONT CLASS='text16b'>";
string lastTag = "&n";
f = contents.IndexOf(firstTag, startPos);
if (f == -1)
{
break;
}
int g = contents.IndexOf(lastTag, f);
startPos = g + lastTag.Length;
string responser = contents.Substring(f + firstTag.Length, g - f - firstTag.Length);
foreach (List<string> subList in Threads)
{
}
}
}
}
I created this variable :
List<List<string>> Threads = new List<List<string>>();
The first thing I don't know yet how to do is how to create inside Threads number of Lists according to the FilteredLinks.Count inside the Links method.
Second thing is in the GetResponsers method I did:
foreach (List<string> subList in Threads)
{
}
But what I want is that first time it will add all the values from variable responser to the first List in Threads. Then when it's getting to the break; it stop then and then in the Links methods its calling GetResponsers(cont); again this time I want that all the values in responser to be added to the second List in Threads.
I know that each time it's getting to the break; it will get the next FilteredLink from FilteredLinks.
How do I create number of Lists in Threads according to the FilteredLinks.Count?
How do I make the code in GetResponsers to add the responser ?

You don't need to specify the count for the number of lists in Threads, since it is a list, you can simply keep adding lists to it. So the first part is correct where you are declaring it.
The second part --> Your calling method will change. Look below for the calling method.
The third part --> Change private void GetResponsers(string contents) to private void GetResponsers(List threadList, string contents). Look below for implementation change.
Also the loop will look like this then
//other code you have
List<List<string>> Threads = new List<List<string>>();
public void Links(string FileName)
{
// ...other code you have
for (int i = 0; i < FilteredLinks.Count; i++)
{
threads.Add(new List<string>);
contents.Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(1255);
cont = contents.DownloadString(FilteredLinks[i]);
GetResponsers(threads[threads.Count - 1], cont);
}
}
private void GetResponsers(List<string> threadList, string contents)
{
int f = 0;
int startPos = 0;
while (true)
{
string firstTag = "<FONT CLASS='text16b'>";
string lastTag = "&n";
f = contents.IndexOf(firstTag, startPos);
if (f == -1)
{
break;
}
int g = contents.IndexOf(lastTag, f);
startPos = g + lastTag.Length;
string responser = contents.Substring(f + firstTag.Length, g - f - firstTag.Length);
threadList.Add(responser);
}
}
PS: Please excuse the formatting.

How do i make List of Lists ? And then add to each List values?
The following codesnippet demonstrates you, how to handle List<List<string>>.
List<List<string>> threads = new List<List<string>>();
List<string> list1 = new List<string>();
list1.Add("List1_1");
list1.Add("List1_2")
threads.Add(list1);
List<string> list2 = new List<string>();
list1.Add("List2_1");
list1.Add("List2_2")
list1.Add("List2_3")
threads.Add(list2);
How do i create number of Lists in Threads according to the
FilteredLinks.Count ?
for(int i = 0; i < FilteredLinks.Count; i++)
{
var newList = new List<string>();
newList.Add("item1"); //add whatever you wish, here.
newList.Add("item2");
Threads.Add(newList);
}
I'm afraid I can't help you with Question #2, since I don't understand what you try to achieve there exactly.
