C#: Log file append size limit, create new and name by datetime ???
Posted on 2004-10-01
The following excellent code was provided to me my EE 'eternal 21'..... It records data bytes line-by-line very nicely.......
Q. How can I limit the log file size and create a new file with a slightly different name (timedate, etc...)???
byte[] newLine = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.
fs = new FileStream("SyslogTest.txt
using(fs)
{
Byte[] sendBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(ma
fs.Write(sendBytes, 0, sendBytes.Length);
fs.Write(newLine, 0, newLine.Length);
}

Have a look at http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Programming_Languages/C_Sharp/Q_21120146.html
Once you detected that a file is too long, you can easily create new logfile using the old filename and add '_2' to the name, or use a date.

The following code (above link) deletes the original file by name and creates a file. However, the file will have a different name each time, so "log.txt" will be a variable not a constant.
string fileName = "log.txt";
FileStream fs = new FileStream(fileName,FileMo
int length = fs.Length;
if(length > 500)
{
File.Delete(fileName);
}
if(File.Exists = false) // After deleting the file u can recreate a file with the same name
{
filestream = File.Create(fileName);
}
string fileName = "log.txt";
FileStream fs = new FileStream(fileName,FileMo
int length = fs.Length;
if(length > 500)
{
File.Delete(fileName);
}
if(File.Exists = false) // After deleting the file u can recreate a file with the same name
{
filestream = File.Create(fileName);
}

What I do most of the time is to add yyyyMM to the filename so each month, a new file is created. In my case, I don't have size problem within a month.
I'm getting a lot of advice, but will anyone help me with the actual code??? I need to create a new log file after the current one reaches either a specific size or by date. The file grows so fast that creating a new file each day will probably work fine...... Below is the actual log writing code......

System.IO.StreamWriter LogWriter = new System.IO.StreamWriter(new
int DataSize = 0;
int FileCount = 1;
const int MAX_FILE_SIZE = 1000000 // One Meg
public void Log (string Data)
{
DataSize += Data.Length;
if (DataSize > MAX_FILE_SIZE)
{
DataSize = Data.Length;
LogWriter.Close();
LogWriter = new System.IO.StreamWriter(new
}
LogWriter.WriteLine(Data);
}
BTW, eternal21's answer can be shortened to
System.IO.StreamWriter lw = new System.IO.StreamWriter(new
lw.WriteLine(machineName + str);
Far more efficient and cleaner
Also,
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Programming_Languages/C_Sharp/Q_21154056.html The suggestions in there deal with this as well.
