[RELEASE] srFileMerge

[Syloxx]

Hello Community,

I`ve just developed a little application that is able to merge text files (for example textuisystem_100.txt - textuisystem_99900) into a single file.

a few years ago Joymax decided to split these text files up probably to reduce traffic during update processes however our client's doesn't support that.

srFileMerge doesn't have a custom split interval added yet (for example to use ItemData) but since I include the source feel free to add it

HOW TO USE:
copy all related txt files into the input folder, execute srFileMerge and enter the "main" filename (for example textuisystem.txt)

SRC:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;

namespace srFileMerge
{
    internal class Program
    {
        private static void Main()
        {
            CreateDirectories(new[] {"./input", "./output"});
            var fileName = GetFileName();

            MergeFiles(GetFileList(fileName), fileName);

            Console.WriteLine("PRESS ANY KEY TO EXIT!");
            Console.ReadKey();
        }

        private static void CreateDirectories(IEnumerable<string> directories)
        {
            try
            {
                foreach (var directory in directories)
                    if (!Directory.Exists(directory))
                        Directory.CreateDirectory(directory);
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(e);
                throw;
            }
        }

        private static string GetFileName()
        {
            Console.Write("ENTER MAIN FILENAME: ");
            var fileName = Console.ReadLine();

            if (!File.Exists($"./input/{fileName}"))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("FILE DOES NOT EXISTS IN INPUT FOLDER, RETRY!");
                fileName = GetFileName();
            }

            return fileName;
        }

        private static string[] GetFileList(string fileName)
        {
            try
            {
                return File.ReadAllLines($"./input/{fileName}");
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(e);
                throw;
            }
        }

        private static void MergeFiles(IEnumerable<string> fileList, string fileName)
        {
            try
            {
                var outputFile = new List<string>();

                foreach (var file in fileList) outputFile.AddRange(File.ReadAllLines($"./input/{file}"));

                File.WriteAllLines($"./output/{fileName.ToLower()}", outputFile, Encoding.Unicode);

                Console.WriteLine("FILE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY MERGED!");
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(e);
                throw;
            }
        }
    }
}

Thank's . But we can use simple command line (cmd or power shell) and use excel to arrange
Thank's anyway

I know, the issue with copy /b *.txt is that it sorts the files by character and not by number for example

TEXT_100
TEXT_1000
TEXT_200
TEXT_2000

you can test that by using the dir command means the lines of the text files wont be accurate and if you wanna use the type command >> output file then there is a problem with unicode chars, the cmd can't display them so the output wont be accurate here aswell

Yes. This why we need Excel to arrange . And remove double line

using Command prompt: copy textuisystem_*.txt textuisystem.txt
will merge all, but thanks for the good release

Its good to coding somethings, but you should do some research before coding some stuff that is maybe already existing.

You can use Filejoiner program. Its simply do eveything that you want to do.

Hey, thanks for your opinion and i took note of that however 1st of all (a little tip for beginners) It is always good practice to develop tools your self and understand how things works... for example i am currently working on a little GUI based application and I`ve noticed that these textbox hints / watermarks are a lot more work then i thought and that there are multiple ways 2 solve it.. same of them are more and some are less effective specially if you are using a PasswordBox (WPF).

2nd the tool is specially developed with the silkroad textdata in mind, all you do is unpack all textdata files into the input folder, enter the "main" filename and its generated you don't have to pick files and recheck if everything is in the correct order

If you always code stuff that doesn't exists already then good luck becoming a good developer since everything has already been developed to a certain point
