Question by schetty · Mar 28, 2013 at 04:59 AM · filefile-io

Problem on writing the copied array of string on text pad

Hi Every One,

I have come up with the new issue, here i want to write the my string data to my note pad through the scripting. When i write it my last array string only displayed because of over writing.

Actually i want to copy the string from one array to other string array and then i want to write it on note pad. Here i gave my script, if you have any solution please tell me.

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 using System.IO;
 using System.Text;
 
 public class Black : MonoBehaviour { 
 
     public static bool temp;    
     public string[] test;
     public string[] gf;
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {       
 
         temp = false;   
     }   
 
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {       
 
         if(temp)
         {      
 
             for(int i =0; i < test.Length; i++)
             {
                 gf = new string[test.Length];              
 
                 gf[i] = test[i];
                 File.WriteAllLines(Application.dataPath+"/Test.txt", gf);
 
             }        }
     }   
 
     void OnMouseUpAsButton()
     {
         temp = !temp;      
 
     }
 }

You're declaring the array and writing the file on each iteration of the loop! Do the following instead:

 void Update ()
 {        
         if (temp)
         {
             gf = new string[test.Length];  
             for(int i =0; i < test.Length; i++)
                 gf[i] = test[i];
             File.WriteAllLines(Application.dataPath+"/Test.txt", gf);
         }
 }

But, of course, you could just do:

 gf = test;

Or just write the contents of test to a file. It's best not to iterate though an array unless you're doing something to the data. :)

Also, ins$$anonymous$$d of checking if temp is true in the update loop, just have your On$$anonymous$$ouseUp function run another function that updates your list.

pretty sure write all lines doesnt append (that is add to a file) but instead overwrites.

You'd want to do something like

 string MyString;
 
 foreach (string word in MyString){
 MyString += word;
 }

That will be everything you might want to insert spaces between. like

MyString += " " + world;

you can thing just write the string to the file now that you've got it all in a string.

you can copy from one string array to another easily enough

 string[] OldArray;
 string[] NewArray;
 
 OldArray = new string[size];
 // fill old array
 
 system.array.copy(OldArray,NewArray,OldArray.length);


code has not been error checked its just pseudo code. mark as answered please :)
