writeline

[RobcPettit]

Hi, Using Console.Writeline, as
while ((strLine = stream.ReadLine()) != null)
{
sb.Append(strLine);
Console.WriteLine(strLine);
} this writes all the data to the screen at one go. Is there away to
write one line at a time. Or possibly to resze the command widow as it
doesnt diplay all the data. Even if I scroll to the top, the first
parts missing.
Regards Robert

This loop does, in fact, write one line at a time. To make it more
readable, perhaps you should either:

1) Redirect output to the 'more' command or a text file

or

2) Increase the size of your console buffer (Command Prompt properties)

or

3) Insert occasional "Press enter to continue" via:

---8<---
int lineCount = 0;
while ((strLine = stream.ReadLine()) != null)
{
sb.Append(strLine);
Console.WriteLine(strLine);
if (++lineCount % 24 == 0)
{
Console.Write("Press Enter to continue...");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}

Console.Out.Flush() after each write?

What appears on the console is not necessarily synchronous with the write
operation. You need to do Console.Out.Flush to force it.

Thankyou for your replys. This is a great help.

According to Reflector, the Console Out stream has AutoFlush set to
true. The WriteLine(string) method calls Write(Char[],int,int) which
calls Flush() when AutoFlush is set to true.
