Proposed exercise
Create a program to extract (only) the alphabetic characters contained in a binary file, and dump them to a different file. The extracted characters must be those whose ASCII code is 32 to 127, or 10, or 13.
Output
Solution
using System; using System.IO; class FileBinary { static void Main() { Console.WriteLine("Enter the name: "); string name = Console.ReadLine(); if (!File.Exists(name)) { Console.WriteLine("Not found {0}", name); return; } try { FileStream file = File.OpenRead(name); byte[] data = new byte[file.Length]; file.Read(data, 0, (int)file.Length); file.Close(); StreamWriter newFile = new StreamWriter(name + ".new.data"); for (int i = 0; i < data.Length; i++) { if ((Convert.ToInt32(data[i]) >= 32) && (Convert.ToInt32(data[i]) <= 127) || (Convert.ToInt32(data[i]) == 10) || (Convert.ToInt32(data[i]) == 13)) { newFile.Write(Convert.ToChar(data[i])); } } newFile.Close(); } catch (Exception) { Console.WriteLine("Error"); } } }
