Any way to make this bit of code slightly more efficient?


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi guys!

The code is below:

$basefile=fileopen("start.txt", 0)
while (@error <>-1)
    $string=filereadline($basefile)
    if (@error <>-1) then filewriteline($outputfile, $string)
WEnd
fileclose($basefile)

I was just wondering if there was a way of making this code slightly more efficient. I don't like the if (@error <>-1) parts.

Thanks guys

$basefile=fileopen("start.txt", 0)
If @Error <> -1 Then
while 1
    $string=filereadline($basefile)
    if not @Error then filewriteline($outputfile, $string)
WEnd
EndIf
If $Basefile Then fileclose($basefile)

As a side note, there is no slower method to read a file than using FileReadLine()

Nah.. there's more to the program than that. It's just the start.

$basefile=fileopen("start.txt", 0)
If @Error <> -1 Then
while 1
    $string=filereadline($basefile)
    if not @Error then filewriteline($outputfile, $string)
WEnd
EndIf
If $Basefile Then fileclose($basefile)

Ahh.. well, my final text file is supposed to look like this:

Header

Main Body

Footer

The header and the footer are always the same (hence, the use of these loops to copy the respective parts to the final output file). The Main body changes with respect to the input. Doesn't look like there's a file copy to the end of file function, is there? :o

Thanks :)

Try this. I don't have access to autoit to check it myself just now

$outputfile=fileopen("output.txt")
$basefile=fileopen("start.txt", 0)
$string=filereadline($basefile)
while (@error <> -1)
    filewriteline($outputfile, $string)
    $string=filereadline($basefile)
WEnd
fileclose($basefile)
fileclose($outputfile)

More speed efficient way:

$data=FileRead("start.txt")
$data=StringSplit($data,@CRLF,1)

$outputfile=fileopen("output.txt",2)
For $i=1 To $data[0]
    $string=$data[$i]
    filewrite($outputfile, $string)
Next
fileclose($outputfile)oÝ÷ Ûú®¢×ׯzy¨­æ®¶­sbb33c·4FFÒfÆU&VBgV÷C·7F'BçGBgV÷C²¢b33c¶FFÒ7G&æu7ÆBb33c·4FFÂ5$Äb ¢b33c·4FFÒgV÷C²gV÷C° ¤f÷"b33c¶ÒFòb33c¶FF³Ð¢b33c·4FFf׳Òb33c¶FF²b33c¶Òfײ5$Ä`¤æW@ ¢b33c¶fÆT÷VâÒfÆT÷VâgV÷C¶÷WGWBçGBgV÷C²Â"¤fÆUw&FRb33c¶fÆT÷VâÂb33c·4FF¤fÆT6Æ÷6Rb33c¶fÆT÷Vâ
