Hi Roger,
Yes, Regex looks a bit terrifying; I do not suggest to do everything with regexes (others might, I don't); I only suggest to use Regex for rather simple operations that would take quite some code doing it otherwise.
The example suggests the following approach (there may be alternatives, this is my first impression anyway):
1. a Regex could locate the line containing "Total: # records" and extract the record count "RC".
2. another Regex could return a collection of all lines starting with a double quote ("AllLines"); these are the only ones we're interested in.
3. It seems AllLines.Count should equal RC+2, (a header, RC data lines, and a total); if it isn't, raise alarm.
4. Each line in AllLines is supposed to contain the same number of fields. Fields are sepatated by comma, however one should not simply split on comma, as there could be comma's inside the quoted stuff (doesn't happen in your example). PIEBALD has an article on how to handle that.
5. Split each line into a string array holding the individual fields
6. For each field in each line (except first and last line), drop the double quotes, and stuff it into the DataSet (assuming that is what you want).
7. Final check: the last of AllLines should fit the data in the DataSet. If not, raise alarm.
Hope this helps.

0) Right, what Luc said.
1) A little sample would go a long way.
2) Have you considered using bcp?

Hello.
I have folowing foreach loop
foreach(Process proc in GetProcessFromSystem())
{
}
GetProcessFromSystem() is a method that retrives all running processes, witch can easly change. Does foreach handles such thimg or is it dangereous to use in a such whay?

A foreach loop can run on anything that implements IEnumerable - so, IMO, this should be fine, if that was your question.
I dont know what has been implemented in GetProcessFromSystem() so this cannot be commented upon.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

is GetProcessFromSystem() called each loop? if so it can give a problem.
|
|

nothing inside the parentheses of foreach is called more than once.
it would be different if you had a for, e.g.:
for(int i=0; i<GetProcessFromSystem().Count; i++) { ... }
would evaluate the termination test, and hence call the method, upon each iteration.

Thank you, this was the answer i was looking.

for this to work, GetProcessFromSystem() has to return an IEnumerable. If it does, the foreach will be happy. However, if the enumerable would change while foreach is iterating over it, an exception would be thrown.
Whether GetProcessFromSystem() implements and returns the information you hope to get cannot be determined without seeing it.

If you want, it returns List<Process>, every time is called. If some app would crash and dissapear. Everytime this method calles, it construct the list from scratch. The only wory for me is that it wouldn't dissapear from the list, while it is in loop. It seems i am going to localize it first before passing to foreach loop.
Also that method is a standart as you would get the same list from task manager

When the method is returning a List, and no one is altering the list, then the list remains as is. Some process crashing, being killed or getting started will not modify the list.
If you don't understand or don't trust how foreach works, then I can only suggest you study it, or stop using it.

Assuming, for the sake of this answer, that GetProcessFromSystem() returns a List<Process> it would be better to do:
List<Process> procs = GetProcessFromSystem();
foreach (Process proc in procs)
{
............
............
}
Doing it the way you first proposed would be more greedy for system resources as (I think) GPFS() would be called on each iteration of the foreach loop, consuming resources. In addition the list could easily change, items might be added or even removed. Anything implementing <code>IEnumerable can give unpredictable results, especially if things are removed from the list.

Can't agree with that.
In for (int x=0; x<bitmap.Width; x++) the Width property is fetched over and over, once per iteration, and returning the same value all the time; so it makes a lot of sense to use a local variable.
Inforeach(type someVar in someExpressionYieldingAnEnumerator) the expression is evaluated once, and the resulting enumerator is worked with (i.e. its MoveNext method is called once per iteration). Using a local variable for holding the enumerator does not change a thing, except it adds to the typing and the risk of errors.

Thanks!
I stand corrected. (Well actually I'm sitting)

No, it wouldn't. Your code is functionally identical to the OP's code. The code in the foreach's paranthesis is executed only once and the code in the curly braces is executed for each item in the collection returned by the paranthesis code.
Now, if the collection we modified by a background thread or by the code in the curly braces, then you've got a problem...

Thank you.
I'll try to remember that and probably fail.

The Elephant is Henry Minute.
I have to do the typing for him because we cannot find a large enough keyboard.

You should buy him an iPhone then. There is this little app that lets him trumphet in morse code, each character gets translated automatically in a regular keystroke.
If he dislikes the iPhone (or when the neighbors object), there is an alternative based on a Wii Fit. That requires flapping the ears, this time using what amounts to the semaphore alphabet.

We tried your second suggestion. Never again.

is there a YouTube reference, or any other proof of bodily harm, discomfort, or damage; so others could benefit and maybe start a class action suit against Nintendo?

Hi everyone.
I´m on the hunt for some good code examples on how to convert a bitmap file (In my case a monochrome bitmap) to an ASCII string.
This ASCII string will be sent to a QLS-printer to be printed.
There must be someone who has run in to the same problem as myself, would anyone like to share his/her experience?
Thanks!
|

Don't you have the driver that goes with your printer? Try this[^].
BTW: I fail to see how an image would need to be converted into an ASCII string.
And what would you do if you had such string? It would print as text anyway.
