I was just writing a very simple little console app to move data from one file
to another (under certain conditions) and I thought it would be beneficial if
the output gave some feedback that something was happening.
So, for each file, for every 10,000 lines processed, I put a "." out via
Console.Write
Seems simple enough, but I was wondering how you would go about determining
that you got through 10,000 lines?
Here was my approach:
int counter=0;
while ((line = fs.ReadLine()) != null)
{
// do stuff - snipped
counter++;
if ((int)(counter/10000)*10000 == counter)
{
Console.Write(".");
}
}
This works fine in my application, but I was wondering what different
approaches were available, especially considering there is a bit of wasted math
here, seems like it could be costly for a very long running process. (In my
situation, the app will be processing many millions of rows of data, so small
savings could add up to a big net saving.)
Cheers,
Dylan Tusler
