AppendAllLines(String, IEnumerable<String>)

Source:: File.cs

Source:: File.cs

Source:: File.cs

Appends lines to a file, and then closes the file. If the specified file does not exist, this method creates a file, writes the specified lines to the file, and then closes the file.

public:
 static void AppendAllLines(System::String ^ path, System::Collections::Generic::IEnumerable<System::String ^> ^ contents);

public static void AppendAllLines (string path, System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<string> contents);

static member AppendAllLines : string * seq<string> -> unit

Public Shared Sub AppendAllLines (path As String, contents As IEnumerable(Of String))

Parameters

path: String

The file to append the lines to. The file is created if it doesn't already exist.

contents: IEnumerable<String>

The lines to append to the file.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

path is a zero-length string, contains only white space, or contains one more invalid characters defined by the GetInvalidPathChars() method.

ArgumentNullException

Either path or contents is null.

DirectoryNotFoundException

path is invalid (for example, the directory doesn't exist or it is on an unmapped drive).

FileNotFoundException

The file specified by path was not found.

IOException

An I/O error occurred while opening the file.

PathTooLongException

path exceeds the system-defined maximum length.

NotSupportedException

path is in an invalid format.

SecurityException

The caller does not have permission to write to the file.

UnauthorizedAccessException

path specifies a file that is read-only.

-or-

This operation is not supported on the current platform.

-or-

path is a directory.

Examples

The following example writes selected lines from a sample data file to a file, and then appends more lines. The directory named temp on drive C must exist for the example to complete successfully.

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;

class Program
{
    static string dataPath = @"c:\temp\timestamps.txt";

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {

        var JulyWeekends = from line in File.ReadLines(dataPath)
                           where (line.StartsWith("Saturday") ||
                           line.StartsWith("Sunday")) &
                           line.Contains("July")
                           select line;

        File.WriteAllLines(@"C:\temp\selectedDays.txt", JulyWeekends);

        var MarchMondays = from line in File.ReadLines(dataPath)
                           where line.StartsWith("Monday") &&

                           select line;

        File.AppendAllLines(@"C:\temp\selectedDays.txt", MarchMondays);
    }

            {
                DateTime TS1 = TimeStamp.AddYears(i);
                DateTime TS2 = TS1.AddMonths(i);

                sw.WriteLine(TS3.ToLongDateString());

Remarks

The method creates the file if it doesn't exist, but it doesn't create new directories. Therefore, the value of the path parameter must contain existing directories.

AppendAllLines(String, IEnumerable<String>, Encoding)

Source:: File.cs

Source:: File.cs

Source:: File.cs

Appends lines to a file by using a specified encoding, and then closes the file. If the specified file does not exist, this method creates a file, writes the specified lines to the file, and then closes the file.

public:
 static void AppendAllLines(System::String ^ path, System::Collections::Generic::IEnumerable<System::String ^> ^ contents, System::Text::Encoding ^ encoding);

public static void AppendAllLines (string path, System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<string> contents, System.Text.Encoding encoding);

static member AppendAllLines : string * seq<string> * System.Text.Encoding -> unit

Public Shared Sub AppendAllLines (path As String, contents As IEnumerable(Of String), encoding As Encoding)

Parameters

path: String

The file to append the lines to. The file is created if it doesn't already exist.

contents: IEnumerable<String>

The lines to append to the file.

encoding: Encoding

The character encoding to use.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

path is a zero-length string, contains only white space, or contains one more invalid characters defined by the GetInvalidPathChars() method.

ArgumentNullException

Either path, contents, or encoding is null.

DirectoryNotFoundException

path is invalid (for example, the directory doesn't exist or it is on an unmapped drive).

FileNotFoundException

The file specified by path was not found.

IOException

An I/O error occurred while opening the file.

PathTooLongException

-or-

path is a directory.

-or-

The caller does not have the required permission.

Remarks

The method creates the file if it doesn't exist, but it doesn't create new directories. Therefore, the value of the path parameter must contain existing directories.

You can use this method to create a file that contains the following:

The results of a LINQ to Objects query on the lines of a file, as obtained by using the ReadLines method.
The contents of a collection that implements an IEnumerable<T> of strings.
