I have written some code to compare 2 files and write their common lines to a 3rd file. For some reason though the 3rd file which contains the common lines has ALL the common lines written to it on 1 line. This should really be 1 new line per common line..I have even tried adding Console.WriteLine('\n'); to add a new line to separate the common lines but this isn't helping. Any ideas as to what is wrong?
//This program will read files and compares to see if they have a line in common
//if there is a line in common then it writes than common line to a new file
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int counter = 0;
string line;
string sline;
string[] words;
string[] samacc = new string[280];
//first file to compare
System.IO.StreamReader sfile =
new System.IO.StreamReader("C:\\Desktop\\autoit\\New folder\\userlist.txt");
while ((sline = sfile.ReadLine()) != null)
{
samacc[counter] = sline;
Console.WriteLine();
counter++;
}
sfile.Close();
//file to write common lines to.
System.IO.StreamWriter wfile = new System.IO.StreamWriter("C:\\Desktop\\autoit\\New folder\\KenUserList.txt");
counter = 0;
//second file to compare
System.IO.StreamReader file =
new System.IO.StreamReader("C:\\Desktop\\autoit\\New folder\\AllUserHomeDirectories.txt");
while ((line = file.ReadLine()) != null)
{
words = line.Split('\t');
foreach (string i in samacc)
{
if (words[0] == i)
{
foreach (string x in words)
{
wfile.Write(x);
wfile.Write('\t');
}
Console.WriteLine('\n');
}
}
}
file.Close();
wfile.Close();
// Suspend the screen.
Console.ReadLine();
}
