Please ping if you reply

AAdiZ Hi. I have an string array `string[] strArr` of words in format `[word1, word2]`...

Split it, then serialize it as JSON and you'll get the desired format

AdiZOP•11/19/23, 6:13 AM

Serializing as JSON = something I've never heard of. Is it easy to figure out from a quick Google?

A

Angius•11/19/23, 6:14 AM

using System.Text.Json

using System.Text.Json

using System.Text.Json

using System.Text.Json namespace,

JsonSerializer.Serialize(the_data)

JsonSerializer.Serialize(the_data)

JsonSerializer.Serialize(the_data)

JsonSerializer.Serialize(the_data)

A

Angius•11/19/23, 6:14 AM

Ez

A

AdiZOP•11/19/23, 6:14 AM

And where does it get stored?

A

Angius•11/19/23, 6:14 AM

In... the variable you assign it to?

A

Angius•11/19/23, 6:15 AM

It returns a string

A

Angius•11/19/23, 6:15 AM

Formatted as Json

A

Angius•11/19/23, 6:15 AM

How you handle it is up to you

A

AdiZOP•11/19/23, 6:15 AM

Ok cool I'll go do that real quick

AAngius In... the variable you assign it to?

A

AdiZOP•11/19/23, 6:15 AM

Was looking at an instructional page and it was talking about opening writing and closing files so I was thinking of that

A

Angius•11/19/23, 6:16 AM

Json files are commonly used to store data, so that's probably why

A

Angius•11/19/23, 6:16 AM

But serialization alone will only return a string

A

AdiZOP•11/19/23, 6:21 AM

Ok so that worked excellently, but I'm having a weird issue with

.Split()

.Split()

.

AdiZOP•11/19/23, 6:21 AM

Grabbing from this list, I'm just using

.Split()

.Split()

to separate into a

string[]

string[]

string[]

string[] of all the words as they're just separated by lines.

AAngius It returns a string

A

AdiZOP•11/19/23, 6:22 AM

But I'm getting

"keen","","flyer","","peas","","dosage","","receivers"

"keen","","flyer","","peas","","dosage","","receivers"

"keen","","flyer","","peas","","dosage","","receivers"

"keen","","flyer","","peas","","dosage","","receivers", i.e. with spaces in between. Why could this be happening?

A

Angius•11/19/23, 6:23 AM

What's your full code?

A

Angius•11/19/23, 6:23 AM

The splitting and all

A

AdiZOP•11/19/23, 6:24 AM

using System.Text.Json;

string originalStr = """
arbor
mediawiki
configurations
poison
""";
Console.WriteLine(JsonSerializer.Serialize(originalStr.Split()));

using System.Text.Json;

string originalStr = """
arbor
mediawiki
configurations
poison
""";
Console.WriteLine(JsonSerializer.Serialize(originalStr.Split()));

using System.Text.Json;

string originalStr = """
arbor
mediawiki
configurations
poison
""";
Console.WriteLine(JsonSerializer.Serialize(originalStr.Split()));

using System.Text.Json;

string originalStr = """
arbor
mediawiki

poison
""";
Console.WriteLine(JsonSerializer.Serialize(originalStr.Split()));

A

AdiZOP•11/19/23, 6:24 AM

Obviously

originalStr

originalStr

originalStr

originalStr here is a sample size, but I used all 10k words for the real thing (though that doesn't matter).

Let's actually try this

huh

A

AdiZOP•11/19/23, 6:25 AM

That's very weird

A

AdiZOP•11/19/23, 6:25 AM

This is the full code that I have.

A

Angius•11/19/23, 6:25 AM

Could be a system-dependent issue

A

AdiZOP•11/19/23, 6:25 AM

Oh nvm it caps out anyway

AAngius Could be a system-dependent issue

A

AdiZOP•11/19/23, 6:25 AM

Just installed C# on VSCode

A

Angius•11/19/23, 6:26 AM

Linux — which the bot runs on — uses

\n

\n

for line ends

A

Angius•11/19/23, 6:26 AM

Windows uses

\n\r

\n\r

\n\r

\n\r

A

Angius•11/19/23, 6:26 AM

Idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A

Angius•11/19/23, 6:26 AM

Oh

A

Angius•11/19/23, 6:26 AM

Right

A

Angius•11/19/23, 6:26 AM

And both are whitespace, so that's what

.Split()

.Split()

splits on by default

A

Angius•11/19/23, 6:26 AM

word\n\r

word\n\r

word\n\r

word\n\r gets split by whitespace into

word

word

word

word,

empty string

empty string

empty string

empty string

A

AdiZOP•11/19/23, 6:27 AM

So do I just change it to

.Split('\n')

.Split('\n')

.Split('\n')

.Split('\n')?

A

Angius•11/19/23, 6:27 AM

You could always filter the strings

A

Angius•11/19/23, 6:27 AM

Or split exactly by

\n

\n

or by

"\n", "\n\r"

"\n", "\n\r"

"\n", "\n\r"

"\n", "\n\r"

AAngius Or split exactly by `\n` or by `"\n", "\n\r"`

A

AdiZOP•11/19/23, 6:28 AM

Interesting...

A

AdiZOP•11/19/23, 6:28 AM

"liechtenstein\r","mating\r","compute\r","redhead\r","arrives\r"

"liechtenstein\r","mating\r","compute\r","redhead\r","arrives\r"

"liechtenstein\r","mating\r","compute\r","redhead\r","arrives\r"

"liechtenstein\r","mating\r","compute\r","redhead\r","arrives\r" is what I get when I do

originalStr.Split("\n")

originalStr.Split("\n")

originalStr.Split("\n")

originalStr.Split("\n")

A

Angius•11/19/23, 6:28 AM

Yeah, so try

.Split("\n", "\n\r")

.Split("\n", "\n\r")

.Split("\n", "\n\r")

.Split("\n", "\n\r")

A

AdiZOP•11/19/23, 6:29 AM

Are you sure?

A

AdiZOP•11/19/23, 6:30 AM

Just throws

A

AdiZOP•11/19/23, 6:30 AM

error CS1503: Argument 1: cannot convert from 'string' to 'char'

Argument 2: cannot convert from 'string' to 'int'

Argument 2: cannot convert from 'string' to 'int'

Argument 2: cannot convert from 'string' to 'int'

AAngius Yeah, so try `.Split("\n", "\n\r")`

A

AdiZOP•11/19/23, 6:31 AM

I did exactly this

A

AdiZOP•11/19/23, 6:32 AM

originalStr.Split("\r\n")

originalStr.Split("\r\n")

originalStr.Split("\r\n")

originalStr.Split("\r\n")
