Writing to text file gives strange output
I am trying to write to a text file but I have a problem when I try write a lot to the file. The code is as follows:
gridZones=new byte[400,400];
// populate byte array...
//...
System.IO.StreamWriter Cool =new System.IO.StreamWriter("COOL.txt");
for(int i=0;i<400;i++)
{
Cool.Write("{");
for(int j=0;j<400;j++)
{
Cool.Write(gridZones[i,j].ToString());
Cool.Write(",");
}
Cool.WriteLine("},");
}
This is an example of what I find in the text file when I open it: ほ紬ബ笊ⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⱽほ紬ബ笊ⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰⰰ
I have also tried the System.IO.WriteAllLines command, inputting a string array with the same result. If I use the print function as such:
string[]win=new string[400];
for(int i=0;i<400;i++)
{
win[i]="{";
for(int j=0;j<400;j++)
{
win[i]=win[i]+gridZones[i,j].ToString()+",";
}
win[i]=win[i]+"},";
print (win[i]);
}
The output is as it should be: {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, ... 0,0,0,0,}, etc
Any reason why this happens and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance for any help!!
