I need to concatenate 3 files using C#. A header file, content, and a footer file, but I want to do this as cool as it can be done.
Cool = really small code or reall
I support Mehrdad Afshari on his code being exactly same as used in System.IO.Stream.CopyTo. I would still wonder why did he not use that same function instead of rewriting its implementation.
string[] srcFileNames = { "file1.txt", "file2.txt", "file3.txt" };
string destFileName = "destFile.txt";
using (Stream destStream = File.OpenWrite(destFileName))
{
foreach (string srcFileName in srcFileNames)
{
using (Stream srcStream = File.OpenRead(srcFileName))
{
srcStream.CopyTo(destStream);
}
}
}
According to the disassembler (ILSpy) the default buffer size is 4096. CopyTo function has got an overload, which lets you specify the buffer size in case you are not happy with 4096 bytes.
