Como combinar e comparar coleções de cadeias de caracteres (LINQ) (Visual Basic)
Este exemplo mostra como mesclar arquivos que contêm linhas de texto e, em seguida, classificar os resultados. Especificamente, mostra como realizar uma concatenação simples, uma união e uma interseção nos dois conjuntos de linhas de texto.
Configurar o projeto e os arquivos de texto
Copie esses nomes em um arquivo de texto chamado names1.txt e salve-o na pasta do projeto:
Bankov, Peter Holm, Michael Garcia, Hugo Potra, Cristina Noriega, Fabricio Aw, Kam Foo Beebe, Ann Toyoshima, Tim Guy, Wey Yuan Garcia, Debra
Copie esses nomes em um arquivo de texto chamado names2.txt e salve-o na pasta do projeto. Observe que os dois arquivos têm alguns nomes em comum.
Liu, Jinghao Bankov, Peter Holm, Michael Garcia, Hugo Beebe, Ann Gilchrist, Beth Myrcha, Jacek Giakoumakis, Leo McLin, Nkenge El Yassir, Mehdi
Exemplo
Class ConcatenateStrings
Shared Sub Main()
' Create the IEnumerable data sources.
Dim fileA As String() = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("../../../names1.txt")
Dim fileB As String() = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("../../../names2.txt")
' Simple concatenation and sort.
Dim concatQuery = fileA.Concat(fileB).OrderBy(Function(name) name)
' Pass the query variable to another function for execution
OutputQueryResults(concatQuery, "Simple concatenation and sort. Duplicates are preserved:")
' New query. Concatenate files and remove duplicates
Dim uniqueNamesQuery = fileA.Union(fileB).OrderBy(Function(name) name)
OutputQueryResults(uniqueNamesQuery, "Union removes duplicate names:")
' New query. Find the names that occur in both files.
Dim commonNamesQuery = fileA.Intersect(fileB)
OutputQueryResults(commonNamesQuery, "Merge based on intersect: ")
' New query in three steps for better readability
' First filter each list separately
Dim nameToSearch As String = "Garcia"
Dim mergeQueryA As IEnumerable(Of String) = From name In fileA
Let n = name.Split(New Char() {","})
Where n(0) = nameToSearch
Select name
Dim mergeQueryB = From name In fileB
Let n = name.Split(New Char() {","})
Where n(0) = nameToSearch
Select name
' Create a new query to concatenate and sort results. Duplicates are removed in Union.
' Note that none of the queries actually executed until the call to OutputQueryResults.
Dim mergeSortQuery = mergeQueryA.Union(mergeQueryB).OrderBy(Function(str) str)
' Now execute mergeSortQuery
OutputQueryResults(mergeSortQuery, "Concat based on partial name match """ & nameToSearch & """ from each list:")
' Keep console window open in debug mode.
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.")
Console.ReadKey()
End Sub
Shared Sub OutputQueryResults(ByVal query As IEnumerable(Of String), ByVal message As String)
Console.WriteLine(System.Environment.NewLine & message)
For Each item As String In query
Console.WriteLine(item)
Next
Console.WriteLine(query.Count & " total names in list")
End Sub
End Class
