We Keep Coding

Keep int variables values from dataReader c#

I don't have much experience with C# but I am trying to make a simple windows forms app with personal finances.
So, I have 2 dataReader (I am using the Oracle provider), and the sql (oracle table) commands that select only 2 columns from a table, only with 1 value, mainly income 1 and income2 and the sum of all values from a specific month.
the sql strings look like this:
strSQL_sel_income1 = "select DISTINCT categorie,SUM(suma) from financiar where main_categ='income' and categorie IN ('income1') and EXTRACT(month FROM data)=" + luna_income + " Group by categorie";
strSQL_sel_income2 = "select DISTINCT categorie,SUM(suma) from financiar where main_categ='income' and categorie IN ('Income2') and EXTRACT(month FROM data)=" + luna_income + " Group by categorie";
the "luna_income" value is taken from a combobox where I select a specific month.
The problem is when I try to declare an Int variable from the values I get with data reader and these variables are not kept outside the while statement... dr_income1/2 being the dataReader
if (dr_income1.HasRows)
{
while (dr_income1.Read())
{
label26.Text = dr_income1.GetString(0) + ": " + dr_income1.GetInt32(1) + "\n";
int suma_income1 = dr_incomei1.GetInt32(1);
}
}
else
{
label26.Text = "No info;
}
so, I have two similar data readers and two int variables suma_income1 and suma_income2. If I try to make a sum of them, outside the WhIle codes, I get a zero value. Where should I declare the two variables and how to keep their values?
int suma_income_total = suma_income1 + suma_income2;
label29.Text = "Income total: " + suma_income_total;
The suma_income_total is ZERO!!!
dr_income1 = cm1.ExecuteReader();
dr_income2 = cm2.ExecuteReader();
label26.Text = "";
label28.Text = "";
if (dr_income1.HasRows)
{
while (dr_income1.Read())
{
label26.Text = dr_income1.GetString(0) + ": " + dr_income1.GetInt32(1) + "\n";
int suma_income1 = dr_income1.GetInt32(1);
}
}
else
{
label26.Text = "No info";
}
if (dr_income2.HasRows)
{
while (dr_income2.Read())
{
label28.Text = dr_income2.GetString(0) + ": " + dr_income2.GetInt32(1) + "\n";
int suma_income2 = dr_income2.GetInt32(1);
}
}
else
{
label28.Text = "no info";
}
int suma_income_total = suma_income1 + suma_income2;
label29.Text = "income total: " + suma_income_total;
dr_income2.Close();
dr_income1.Close();

I put some changes in your code. It is not ideal since there are several much simple ways. But it is ok as workaround:
dr_income1 = cm1.ExecuteReader();
dr_income2 = cm2.ExecuteReader();
label26.Text = "";
label28.Text = "";
var suma_income1 =0;
var suma_income2 =0;
if (dr_income1.HasRows)
{
while (dr_income1.Read())
{
label26.Text = dr_income1.GetString(0) + ": " + dr_income1.GetInt32(1) + "\n";
suma_income1 += dr_income1.GetInt32(1);
}
}
else
{
label26.Text = "No info";
}
if (dr_income2.HasRows)
{
while (dr_income2.Read())
{
label28.Text = dr_income2.GetString(0) + ": " + dr_income2.GetInt32(1) + "\n";
suma_income2 += dr_income2.GetInt32(1);
}
}
else
{
label28.Text = "no info";
}
int suma_income_total = suma_income1 + suma_income2;
label29.Text = "income total: " + suma_income_total;
dr_income2.Close();
dr_income1.Close();

How to retrieve data from text file

I have data appended line by line in a text file for all confirmed transaction. I want to add Search functionality, where the user enters their E-mail address and all related transaction details connected to that E-mail must be displayed.
bool writeNextLine = false;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
// Read the file and display it line by line.
using (System.IO.StreamReader file = new System.IO.StreamReader("record.txt"))
{
while ((line = file.ReadLine()) != null)
{
if (line.Contains(txt_SearchBooking.Text))
{
// This append the text and a newline into the StringBuilder buffer
sb.AppendLine(line.ToString());
lbl_result.Text += sb.ToString();
}
}
}
but only the line containing Email is displayed other details are not.
Email is located on the last line of every transaction detail.
confirmmsg =
" Transaction # : " + EmployeeIDTextBox.Text + ClientIDTextBox.Text + UniqueIDTextBox.Text + "\r\n"
+ " First Name : " + ClientFirstNameTextBox.Text + "\r\n"
+ " Telephone Number : " + ClientTelephoneNumberTextBox.Text + "\r\n"
+ " Investment : " + investmentamt.ToString("C2") + "\r\n"
+ " Interest : " + (twelvemonthint * 100).ToString() + "%" + "\r\n"
+ " Interest Amount : " + (invesmentcalc(investmentamt, twelvemonthterm, twelvemonthint) - investmentamt).ToString("C2") + "\r\n"
+ " Bonus : " + bonus.ToString("c2") + "\r\n"
+ " Total Returns : " + invesmentcalc(investmentamt, twelvemonthterm, twelvemonthint).ToString("C2") + "\r\n"
+ " E-mail : " + ClientEmailTextBox.Text;
This is the data which is written into the text file.

If you always have 9 lines per transaction, with email being the last line, you could use File.ReadAllLines and a counter.
var lines = File.ReadAllLines("records.txt");
for(int i = 0; i < lines.Length; i++)
{
var line = lines[i];
if(line.Contains(txt_SearchBooking.Text))
{
//Retrieve the previous lines
for(int y = i-8; y <= i; y++)
{
lbl_result.Text += lines[y];
}
}
}

Add pause to Alexa without using SSML

Is there a way to add a pause (preferably 1 second) in Amazon Alexa without using SSML? Perhaps there is a trick I can do with the Outputspeech.Text and I just don't know it.
Below, I am saying "Here are works of art by {artist name}" but the name and the start of the works of art become mixed together - in spite of the period - so I end up with things like "Here are the works of art by Pablo Picasso Harlequin..."
I am using C# and my own https endpoint, not AWS Lambda.
Any suggestions? Otherwise I will add it as SSML. Thanks.
var output = new StringBuilder();
var outputCard = new StringBuilder();
string m_location;
string m_current_location;
string m_artist = dt_artist.Rows[0]["DisplayName"].ToString();
output.Append("here are works of art for " + m_artist + ". ");
outputCard.Append("Here are works of art for " + m_artist + ".\n\n");
foreach (DataRow dr in dt_artist_objs.Rows)
{
m_current_location = dr["CurrentLocation"].ToString();
if (m_current_location == " ")
{
m_location = "The location is not available.";
}
else
{
m_location = "It is located on the " + m_current_location;
}
output.Append(dr["Title"].ToString() + " is a " + dr["Classification"].ToString() + ". The medium is " + dr["Medium"].ToString() + ". " + m_location);
outputCard.Append(dr["Title"].ToString() + ", " + dr["Dated"].ToString() + " is a " + dr["Classification"].ToString() + ". The medium is " + dr["Medium"].ToString() + ". " + dr["Creditline"].ToString() + ". " + m_location + ".\n"); // It is located on the " + dr["CurrentLocation"].ToString());
}
sql_conn_data.Close();
response.Response.OutputSpeech.Text = output.ToString();
response.Response.Card.Title = "Art";
response.Response.Card.Type = "Standard";
response.Response.Card.Text = outputCard.ToString();
response.Response.ShouldEndSession = true;
return response;
UPDATE
OK. Ended up going the SSML route which looks like this:
var output = new StringBuilder();
var outputCard = new StringBuilder();
string m_location;
string m_current_location;
string m_location_card;
string m_artist = dt_artist.Rows[0]["DisplayName"].ToString();
output.Append("<speak>");
output.Append("here are works of art for " + m_artist + ". <break time='1s'/> ");
outputCard.Append("Here are works of art for " + m_artist + ".\n\n");
foreach (DataRow dr in dt_artist_objs.Rows)
{
m_current_location = dr["CurrentLocation"].ToString();
if (m_current_location == " ")
{
m_location = "The location is not available. <break time='1s' />";
m_location_card = "The location is not available. ";
}
else
{
m_location = "It is located on the " + m_current_location + "<break time = '1s' />";
m_location_card = "It is located on the " + m_current_location;
}
output.Append(dr["Title"].ToString() + " is a " + dr["Classification"].ToString() + ". The medium is " + dr["Medium"].ToString() + ". " + m_location);
outputCard.Append(dr["Title"].ToString() + ", " + dr["Dated"].ToString() + " is a " + dr["Classification"].ToString() + ". The medium is " + dr["Medium"].ToString() + ". " + dr["Creditline"].ToString() + ". " + m_location_card + ". \n");
}
output.Append("</speak>");
sql_conn_data.Close();
response.Response.OutputSpeech.Ssml = output.ToString();
response.Response.OutputSpeech.Type = "SSML";
response.Response.Card.Title = "Art";
response.Response.Card.Type = "Standard";
response.Response.Card.Text = outputCard.ToString();
response.Response.ShouldEndSession = true;
return response;
}

There is not a way to introduce a pause in Alexa without SSML. You will need to build the ssml string and return it back to Alexa using the pause, or the cadence strings.

prepend headers to my csv file

I want to prepend headers to my CSV File as to let the data reflect the headings. How would I go about this without having to add it each time writing to the file? Meaning I only want the headers added once on each export. When am exporting to the same file name it should not create duplicates of the same headers. Here is my code below which writes to file:
private void button6_Click_2(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int count_row = dataGridView1.RowCount;
int count_cell = dataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells.Count;
MessageBox.Show("Please wait while " +comboBox5.Text+ " table is being exported..");
for (int row_index = 0; row_index <= count_row - 2; row_index++)
{
for (int cell_index = 1; cell_index <= count_cell - 1; cell_index++)
{
textBox8.Text = textBox8.Text + dataGridView1.Rows[row_index].Cells[cell_index].Value.ToString() + ",";
}
textBox8.Text = textBox8.Text + "\r\n";
}
System.IO.File.WriteAllText("C:\\Users\\jdavis\\Desktop\\"+comboBox5.Text+".csv", textBox8.Text);
MessageBox.Show("Export of " +comboBox5.Text+ " table is complete!");
textBox8.Clear();
}
Updated attempt:
private void button6_Click_2(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int count_row = dataGridView1.RowCount;
int count_cell = dataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells.Count;
MessageBox.Show("Please wait while " + comboBox5.Text + " table is being exported..");
if (!File.Exists(comboBox5.Text))
{
string rxHeader = "Code" + "," + "Description" + "," + "NDC" + "," + "Supplier Code"
+ "," + "Supplier Description" + "," + "Pack Size" + "," + "UOM" + Environment.NewLine;
for (int row_index = 0; row_index <= count_row - 2; row_index++)
{
for (int cell_index = 1; cell_index <= count_cell - 1; cell_index++)
{
textBox8.Text = textBox8.Text + dataGridView1.Rows[row_index].Cells[cell_index].Value.ToString() + ",";
}
textBox8.Text = textBox8.Text + "\r\n";
}
System.IO.File.WriteAllText("C:\\Users\\jdavis\\Desktop\\" + comboBox5.Text + ".csv", textBox8.Text);
MessageBox.Show("Export of " + comboBox5.Text + " table is complete!");
textBox8.Clear();
}
}
I really want to try and achieve it without SteamWriter, where am I going wrong?
private void button6_Click_2(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int count_row = dataGridView1.RowCount;
int count_cell = dataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells.Count;
string path = "C:\\Users\\jdavis\\Desktop\\" + comboBox5.Text + ".csv";
string rxHeader = "Code" + "," + "Description" + "," + "NDC" + "," + "Supplier Code"
+ "," + "Supplier Description" + "," + "Pack Size" + "," + "UOM";
MessageBox.Show("Please wait while " + comboBox5.Text + " table is being exported..");
for (int row_index = 0; row_index <= count_row - 2; row_index++)
{
for (int cell_index = 1; cell_index <= count_cell - 1; cell_index++)
{
textBox8.Text = textBox8.Text + dataGridView1.Rows[row_index].Cells[cell_index].Value.ToString() + ",";
}
textBox8.Text = textBox8.Text + "\r\n";
if (!File.Exists(path))
{
System.IO.File.WriteAllText(path, rxHeader);
System.IO.File.WriteAllText(path, textBox8.Text);
}
else
{
System.IO.File.AppendAllText(path, textBox8.Text);
MessageBox.Show("Export of " + comboBox5.Text + " table is complete!");
textBox8.Clear();
}
}
}

Here is the short version that will even properly handle values that contain , and ":
dataGridView1.ClipboardCopyMode = DataGridViewClipboardCopyMode.EnableAlwaysIncludeHeaderText;
dataGridView1.RowHeadersVisible = false; // the row headers column is copied too if visible
dataGridView1.SelectAll(); // only the selected cells are used (the Windows Clipboard is not used)
DataObject dataObject = dataGridView1.GetClipboardContent(); // 4 Data Formats: Text,Csv,HTML Format,UnicodeText
File.WriteAllText("1.csv", dataObject.GetData("Csv") as string); // DataFormats.CommaSeparatedValue = "Csv"
//string html = Encoding.ASCII.GetString((dataObject.GetData("HTML Format") as MemoryStream).ToArray()); // just the HTML Clipboard Format is in a MemoryStream

This is my suggested solution.
My suggestion is to first check if the file exists or not, to then decide if you need to write the header or not.
private void DoTheWork(int fileIDtoUpdate)
{
//this is just my representation of what probably already exist in your project
string textInTheTextBox = "blah blah blah blah\nI love text\nI love code\nI love to Code\ndon't you just love to code!";
string filePath1 = #"M:\StackOverflowQuestionsAndAnswers\40726017\File1.txt";
string filePath2 = #"M:\StackOverflowQuestionsAndAnswers\40726017\File2.txt";
string filePath3 = #"M:\StackOverflowQuestionsAndAnswers\40726017\File3.txt";
string filePath4 = #"M:\StackOverflowQuestionsAndAnswers\40726017\File4.txt";
string fileToWorkWith = string.Empty;
//decide which file to work with
switch (fileIDtoUpdate)
{
case 1:
fileToWorkWith = filePath1;
break;
case 2:
fileToWorkWith = filePath2;
break;
case 3:
fileToWorkWith = filePath3;
break;
case 4:
fileToWorkWith = filePath4;
break;
default:
break;
}
//check if the file existed
bool fileExisted = File.Exists(fileToWorkWith);
using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fileToWorkWith, true))
{
if (!fileExisted)
{
//if the file did not exist, then you need to put your header line!
sw.WriteLine("Write your Header Line here");
}
sw.WriteLine(textInTheTextBox);//down here... who cares if the file existed or not, you need to append this text to it no matter what!
}
}

Got the answer by simply editing my code with this snippet:
if (!File.Exists(path))
{
System.IO.File.WriteAllText(path, rxHeader + textBox8.Text);
}
else
{
System.IO.File.AppendAllText(path, textBox8.Text);
MessageBox.Show("Export of " + comboBox5.Text + " table is complete!");
textBox8.Clear();
}

for (int row_index = 0; row_index <= count_row - 2; row_index++)
{
textBox8.Text = textBox8.Text + "\r\n";
for (int cell_index = 1; cell_index <= count_cell - 1; cell_index++)
{
textBox8.Text = textBox8.Text + dataGridView1.Rows[row_index].Cells[cell_index].Value.ToString() + ",";
}
}
Just go to the property pannel of textBox8. Text and add column header with comma and set the textbox8 visibility to hidden.

C# streamwriter create part of files

I am trying to create a hash text file. The code works, the problem is that once the streamwriter starts the process it won't stop until it is finished. I want to break up the output file into smaller parts. How do I stop the streamwriter and start a new file without starting the process over again?
string infile = #"ntlmchar.txt";
string hashfile = #"ntlmhash.txt"; //File that includes the hash and clear test
string charfile = #"ntlmchar.txt"; //File that only has the clear text
string oldCharFile = ""; //Temp file to apply to infile.
int cint = 1; //The number of characters in the file
string str_cint = cint.ToString(); //convert cint to string
int pint = 1; //The number of parts to the character file
string str_pint = pint.ToString(); //convert pint to string
int cm = 4; //Max number of characters
int pm = 4000; //Man number of parts
int line = 0; //line index number
while (cint <= cm)
{
if (!File.Exists(infile))
{
for (int ci =1; ci <= cm; ci++)
{
str_cint = cint.ToString();
for (int pi =1; pi <= pm; pi++)
{
str_pint = pint.ToString();
// System.Console.WriteLine("Inner for loop cint file does not exist" +cint +" pint " + pint);
// System.Console.WriteLine("Inner for loop str_cint file does not exist " + str_cint + " cint " + cint);
charfile = "ntlmchar" + str_cint + "_" + str_pint + ".txt";
pint = pi;
oldCharFile = charfile;
infile = oldCharFile;
if (File.Exists(infile)) break;
// System.Console.WriteLine("inner loop file " + infile);
}
// System.Console.WriteLine("outer for loop cint " + cint + " pint " + pint);
// System.Console.WriteLine("infile not found " + infile + " " + oldCharFile + " " + charfile + " " + hashfile);
}
// System.Console.WriteLine("No work files found " + infile + " " + oldCharFile + " " + charfile + " " + hashfile);
}
else if (File.Exists(infile))
{
// Create a file to write to.
// System.Console.WriteLine("cint at the start of else if " + cint + " str_cint " + str_cint);
infile = oldCharFile;
str_cint = cint.ToString();
// System.Console.WriteLine("cint after assign to str_cint " + cint + " str_cint " + str_cint);
pint=1;
str_pint = pint.ToString();
hashfile = "ntlmhash" + str_cint + "_" + str_pint + ".txt";
charfile = "ntlmchar" + str_cint + "_" + str_pint + ".txt";
//System.Console.WriteLine(infile + " " + oldCharFile + " " + charfile + " " + hashfile);
// System.Console.WriteLine("Infile found " + cint + " " + pint);
using (StreamWriter h = new StreamWriter(hashfile))
using (StreamWriter c = new StreamWriter(charfile))
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(infile))
{
string i = "";
while ((i = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
{
foreach (string s in alpha)
{
if (line <= 2000000)
{
string j = i + s;
string str = Program.Ntlm(j);
hashfile = "ntlmhash" + str_cint + "_" + str_pint + ".txt";
charfile = "ntlmchar" + str_cint + "_" + str_pint + ".txt";
// System.Console.WriteLine("line before writing to file " + line + " in charfile " + charfile);
h.WriteLine("{0}, {1}", j, str);
c.WriteLine("{0}", j);
line++;
// System.Console.WriteLine("h file" + h + " c file" + c);
}
else
{
h.Flush();
c.Flush();
pint++;
str_pint = pint.ToString();
hashfile = "ntlmhash" + str_cint + "_" + str_pint + ".txt";
charfile = "ntlmchar" + str_cint + "_" + str_pint + ".txt";
line = 1;
System.Console.WriteLine("line after writing to part of file " + line + " in charfile " + charfile);
}
}
}

I assume you're trying to get 2,000,000 items per file? You just need to restructure a little.
Right now you have:
using (StreamWriter h = new StreamWriter(hashfile))
using (StreamWriter c = new StreamWriter(charfile))
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(infile))
{
string i = "";
while ((i = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
{
You need to change your code so that you open the output files later:
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(infile))
{
StreamWriter h = null;
StreamWriter c = null;
try
{
h = new StreamWriter(...);
c = new StreamWriter(...);
string i = "";
while ((i = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
{
// output line here
// and increment line counter.
++line;
if (line > 2000000)
{
// Close the output files and open new ones
h.Close();
c.Close();
h = new StreamWriter(...);
c = new StreamWriter(...);
line = 1;
}
}
}
finally
{
if (h != null) h.Close();
if (c != null) c.Close();
}
}
