File Handling and Exception Handling

Code:

using System;

using System.IO;

class FileHandlingAssignment

static void Main()

string inputFile = "input.txt";

string outputFile = "output.txt";

try

if (!File.Exists(inputFile)) // Read data from the input file

throw new FileNotFoundException($"The file '{inputFile}' does not exist.");

string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(inputFile);

Console.WriteLine("File read successfully. Processing data...");

// Perform a specified operation (e.g., counting the number of words in each line)

string[] results = ProcessData(lines);

File.WriteAllLines(outputFile, results); // Write results to the output file

Console.WriteLine($"Data processed successfully. Results written to '{outputFile}'.");

catch (FileNotFoundException ex)

Console.WriteLine($"Error: {ex.Message}");

LogError(ex);

catch (FormatException ex)


{

Console.WriteLine("Error: Invalid data in the file.");

LogError(ex);

catch (Exception ex)

Console.WriteLine("An unexpected error occurred.");

LogError(ex);

static string[] ProcessData(string[] lines) // Function to process data

string[] results = new string[lines.Length];

for (int i = 0; i < lines.Length; i++)

// Example operation: Count words in each line

int wordCount = lines[i].Split(new[] { ' ', '\t' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries).Length;

results[i] = $"Line {i + 1}: {wordCount} words";

return results;

static void LogError(Exception ex) // Function to log errors

string logFile = "error_log.txt";

string logMessage = $"[{DateTime.Now}] {ex.GetType()}: {ex.Message}\n{ex.StackTrace}\n";

File.AppendAllText(logFile, logMessage);

Console.WriteLine($"Error details logged to '{logFile}'.");

}
Explanation of the Code:

1. File Handling:

o Uses File.ReadAllLines to read all lines from the input file.

o Processes the data using a helper function (ProcessData).

o Writes results to the output file using File.WriteAllLines.

2. Exception Handling:

o FileNotFoundException: Thrown if the input file is missing.

o FormatException: Example for handling invalid data (extendable as needed).

o General Exception: Catches all other unforeseen errors.

3. Error Reporting:

o Displays meaningful error messages to the console.

o Logs detailed error information (timestamp, exception type, message, stack trace) to a
file (error_log.txt).

Example:

Input File (input.txt):

Hello world!

C# is fun to learn.

File handling is important.

Output file (output.txt):

Line 1: 2 words

Line 2: 5 words

Line 3: 4 words

Error Log (error_log.txt):

[2025-01-05 14:30:22] System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The file 'input.txt' does not exist.
