Come leggere un file di testo al contrario con iteratore in C #

Devo elaborare un file di grandi dimensioni, circa 400K linee e 200 M. Ma a volte devo elaborare dal basso verso l'alto. Come posso utilizzare l'iteratore (rendimento del rendimento) qui? Fondamentalmente non mi piace caricare tutto in memoria. So che è più efficiente usare l'iteratore in .NET.

Leggere i file di testo all'indietro è davvero complicato a meno che non si utilizzi una codifica di dimensioni fisse (ad esempio ASCII). Quando hai una codifica a dimensione variabile (come UTF-8), dovrai continuare a controllare se sei nel mezzo di un carattere o meno quando prendi i dati.

Non c'è nulla di integrato nel framework e sospetto che dovresti fare un hard coding separato per ogni codifica a larghezza variabile.

EDIT: Questo è stato in qualche modo testato, ma questo non vuol dire che non abbia ancora alcuni bug sottili in giro. Usa StreamUtil di MiscUtil, ma ho incluso solo il metodo necessario (nuovo) da lì in basso. Oh, e ha bisogno di refactoring: c'è un metodo piuttosto pesante, come vedrai:

Feedback molto gradito. È stato divertente :)

Attenzione: questo approccio non funziona (spiegato in EDIT)

Puoi usare File.ReadLines per ottenere l'iteratore di linee

foreach (var line in File.ReadLines(@"C:\temp\ReverseRead.txt").Reverse())
{
    if (noNeedToReadFurther)
        break;

    // process line here
    Console.WriteLine(line);
}

MODIFICARE:

Dopo aver letto il commento di applejacks01 , ho eseguito alcuni test e sembra che .Reverse() effettivamente carichi l'intero file.

Ho usato File.ReadLines()per stampare prima riga di un file di 40 MB - utilizzo della memoria del console applicazione è stata 5MB . Quindi, utilizzato File.ReadLines().Reverse()per stampare l' ultima riga dello stesso file, l'utilizzo della memoria era di 95 MB .

Conclusione

Qualunque cosa stia facendo `Reverse () ', non è una buona scelta per leggere il fondo di un file di grandi dimensioni.

Per creare un iteratore di file puoi farlo:

MODIFICARE:

Questa è la mia versione fissa di un lettore di file inverso a larghezza fissa:

public static IEnumerable<string> readFile()
{
    using (FileStream reader = new FileStream(@"c:\test.txt",FileMode.Open,FileAccess.Read))
    {
        int i=0;
        StringBuilder lineBuffer = new StringBuilder();
        int byteRead;
        while (-i < reader.Length)
        {
            reader.Seek(--i, SeekOrigin.End);
            byteRead = reader.ReadByte();
            if (byteRead == 10 && lineBuffer.Length > 0)
            {
                yield return Reverse(lineBuffer.ToString());
                lineBuffer.Remove(0, lineBuffer.Length);
            }
            lineBuffer.Append((char)byteRead);
        }
        yield return Reverse(lineBuffer.ToString());
        reader.Close();
    }
}

public static string Reverse(string str)
{
    char[] arr = new char[str.Length];
    for (int i = 0; i < str.Length; i++)
        arr[i] = str[str.Length - 1 - i];
    return new string(arr);
}

Ho inserito il file in una lista riga per riga, quindi ho usato List.Reverse ();

        StreamReader objReader = new StreamReader(filename);
        string sLine = "";
        ArrayList arrText = new ArrayList();

        while (sLine != null)
        {
            sLine = objReader.ReadLine();
            if (sLine != null)
                arrText.Add(sLine);
        }
        objReader.Close();


        arrText.Reverse();

        foreach (string sOutput in arrText)
        {

...

È possibile leggere il file un carattere alla volta all'indietro e memorizzare nella cache tutti i caratteri fino a raggiungere un ritorno a capo e / o un avanzamento riga.

Quindi inverti la corda raccolta e la tiri come una linea.

So che questo post è molto vecchio ma non riuscendo a trovare come utilizzare la soluzione più votata, finalmente ho trovato questa: ecco la risposta migliore che ho trovato con un basso costo di memoria in VB e C #

Spero di aiutare gli altri in questo perché mi ci sono volute ore per trovare finalmente questo post!

Soluzione molto veloce per file di grandi dimensioni . Usa il cmdlet Get-Content di PowerShell con l'opzione Tail. Chiamare PowerShell darà un po 'di overhead, ma per file enormi è inutile

using System.Management.Automation;

const string FILE_PATH = @"d:\temp\b_media_27_34_0000_25393.txt";
var ps = PowerShell.Create();
ps.AddCommand("Get-Content")
    .AddParameter("Path", FILE_PATH)
    .AddParameter("Tail", 1);
var psResults = ps.Invoke();
var lastLine = psResults.FirstOrDefault()?.BaseObject.ToString();

ps.Dispose();

Aggiungo anche la mia soluzione. Dopo aver letto alcune risposte, niente si adattava veramente al mio caso. Sto leggendo byte per byte da dietro fino a trovare un LineFeed, quindi ritegno i byte raccolti come stringa, senza utilizzare il buffering .

Utilizzo:

var reader = new ReverseTextReader(path);
while (!reader.EndOfStream)
{
    Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadLine());  
}

Implementazione:

public class ReverseTextReader
{
    private const int LineFeedLf = 10;
    private const int LineFeedCr = 13;
    private readonly Stream _stream;
    private readonly Encoding _encoding;

    public bool EndOfStream => _stream.Position == 0;

    public ReverseTextReader(Stream stream, Encoding encoding)
    {
        _stream = stream;
        _encoding = encoding;
        _stream.Position = _stream.Length;
    }

    public string ReadLine()
    {
        if (_stream.Position == 0) return null;

        var line = new List<byte>();
        var endOfLine = false;
        while (!endOfLine)
        {
            var b = _stream.ReadByteFromBehind();

            if (b == -1 || b == LineFeedLf)
            {
                endOfLine = true;
            } 
            line.Add(Convert.ToByte(b));
        }

        line.Reverse();
        return _encoding.GetString(line.ToArray());
    }
}

public static class StreamExtensions
{
    public static int ReadByteFromBehind(this Stream stream)
    {
        if (stream.Position == 0) return -1;

        stream.Position = stream.Position - 1;
        var value = stream.ReadByte();
        stream.Position = stream.Position - 1;
        return value;
    }
}

Volevo fare la cosa simile. Ecco il mio codice. Questa classe creerà file temporanei contenenti parti del file grande. Ciò eviterà il gonfiore della memoria. L'utente può specificare se desidera che il file venga invertito. Di conseguenza restituirà il contenuto in modo inverso.

Questa classe può essere utilizzata anche per scrivere big data in un singolo file senza sovraccaricare la memoria.

Nel caso in cui qualcun altro si imbattesse in questo, l'ho risolto con il seguente script PowerShell che può essere facilmente modificato in uno script C # con un piccolo sforzo.

[System.IO.FileStream]$fileStream = [System.IO.File]::Open("C:\Name_of_very_large_file.log", [System.IO.FileMode]::Open, [System.IO.FileAccess]::Read, [System.IO.FileShare]::ReadWrite)
[System.IO.BufferedStream]$bs = New-Object System.IO.BufferedStream $fileStream;
[System.IO.StreamReader]$sr = New-Object System.IO.StreamReader $bs;


$buff = New-Object char[] 20;
$seek = $bs.Seek($fileStream.Length - 10000, [System.IO.SeekOrigin]::Begin);

while(($line = $sr.ReadLine()) -ne $null)
{
     $line;
}

Questo fondamentalmente inizia a leggere dagli ultimi 10.000 caratteri di un file, emettendo ogni riga.
