I am trying to create a tool in C#. The tool is to allow a user the ability to see some foreign language text line-by-line, and enter in their human translation in a text box below, submit, and eventually save to a new text file.
I am trying to open a .txt file with openFileDialog, then send line-by-line through a for loop that will add into a two dimensional array, 4 things:
Things we need:
Array scriptFile[][]
scriptFile[X][0] = Int holding the Line number
scriptFile[X][1] = First line piece
scriptFile[X][2] = Untranslated Text
scriptFile[X][3] = Translated Text input
The first part of the Array is the line number in an Integer. The Second and third pieces are 2 pieces of text separated by a TAB.
Example Text File:
Dog 슈퍼 지방입니다.
cat 일요일에 빨간색입니다.
Elephant 적의 피로 위안을 찾는다.
Mouse 그의 백성의 죽음을 복수하기 위해 싸우십시오.
racoon 즉시 의료 지원이 필요합니다.
Which then:
So array:
scriptFile[0][0] = 1
scriptFile[0][1] = Dog
scriptFile[0][2] = 슈퍼 지방입니다.
scriptFile[0][3] = "" (Later input as human translation)
If I can crack this, then everything else will just fall into place in no time. I'm continuing to look for solutions, but my knowledge of C# is limited since I'm mainly a Java/PHP guy :/
So far I have the lien count down, and continuing to work on sorting everything into an array. So far what I kind of have:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.continueButton.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.continueButton_Click);
}
private void continueButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (openFile.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
{
System.IO.StreamReader sr = new System.IO.StreamReader(openFile.FileName);
var lineCount = File.ReadLines(openFile.FileName).Count();
MessageBox.Show(lineCount.ToString());
sr.Close();
}
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
openFile.Filter = "Text files (.txt)|*.txt";
}
}
There is probably no learning effect but i figured it out.
NOTE This is very raw code. There is no exception handling.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace TextArrayManipulation
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private TaskCompletionSource<string> _translationSubmittedSource = new TaskCompletionSource<string>();
private string[,] _result;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private async void buttonOpen_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
using (var ofd = new OpenFileDialog())
{
if (ofd.ShowDialog() != DialogResult.OK) return;
_result = new string[File.ReadLines(openFile.FileName).Count(), 4];
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(ofd.FileName))
{
var line = string.Empty;
var lineCount = 0;
while (line != null)
{
line = streamReader.ReadLine();
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(line)) continue;
// update GUI
textBoxLine.Text = line;
labelLineNumber.Text = lineCount.ToString();
// wait for user to enter a translation
var translation = await _translationSubmittedSource.Task;
// split line at tabstop
var parts = line.Split('\t');
// populate result
_result[lineCount, 0] = lineCount.ToString();
_result[lineCount, 1] = parts[0];
_result[lineCount, 2] = parts[1];
_result[lineCount, 3] = translation;
// reset soruce
_translationSubmittedSource = new TaskCompletionSource<string>();
// clear TextBox
textBoxTranslation.Clear();
// increase line count
lineCount++;
}
}
// proceede as you wish...
}
}
private void buttonSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
_translationSubmittedSource.TrySetResult(textBoxTranslation.Text);
}
}
}
