           even slightly; you must instantiate a new object; which would be the case if we used the = and  

           ± operators。 The  StringBuilder type is like String; except the referenced text can be modified。 

                In the Process() implementation; the Do While loop calls the method Peek(); which reads;  

           but does not remove; a character value from the stream。 If there is nothing more to read; a …1  

           value is returned。 Otherwise; data is available; and the method  ReadLine() can be called。  

           ReadLine() will read a buffer of characters until a newline or return character is encountered。  

           Having read a line of text; it is split into the individual fields using the Split() method。 The split  

           characters are the space and tab character (ControlChars。Tab)。 

                When the Split() method returns; the individual fields are assigned to the array splitUpText。  

           Those array elements are iterated and appended to the StringBuilder variable retval; but each  

           element is surrounded by a set of brackets。 The brackets provide a set of boundaries that you  

           can inspect to see what data has been found。 I include the brackets purely for debugging purposes。  

           Because I am trying to reformat the stream; I append a newline character (ControlChars。NewLine) to  

           the variable retval。 

                When all of the lines of text and fields within the lines of text are iterated; a string represen

           tation of the StringBuilder instance is returned using the ToString() method。 Running the  

           code shows how many fields each line of text has and how you should format the text file。 This  

           gives you an understanding of how the file is structured。  

                The following is sample output from the lotto。txt file。

     The sample output shows that we have the following items to fix: 



     o  There are empty lines of text where no data has been defined。 



     o  Some lines of text have empty fields at the end。 



     o  Some fields have an incorrect date format。 



     o  Some dates have duplicates; which need to be removed。 



     o  Some lines of text have too many fields。 We need to figure out which fields we want to  

        keep and which we can discard。 



■Note  When processing streams and cleaning them up; it is important to take the stream apart first and  

see what you are up against。 Do not make assumptions until you have looked at the individual pieces of data。  

Then you will be able to determine the steps you need to undertake to fix the stream。 



Fixing the Stream 



The final solution uses the same code used to parse the lines of text and individual fields; as  

follows (note; however; that we need the individual lines if the date format is correct; so we  

store each one in the lineOfText variable):

          ■Note  In the downloadable source code; the individual steps taken to clean up the data stream are demon

          strated。 For reference; the intermediate development steps in the source code are called Process01()  

          through  Process05()。 



               Let’s review how this code fixes the five problems we discovered。 


…………………………………………………………Page 289……………………………………………………………

                                                        CH A PT E R   1 0   ■    L E A R N I N G   A B O U T  P E R S IS T E N CE 267 



Empty Lines of Text 



The following code removes the empty lines of text。  



        If splitUpText(0)。Length = 0 Then 

            Continue Do 

        End If 



     When  lotto。txt was processed; the output data stream generated a single field array for  

an empty line。 So; we know that if the first field element has a length of zero; the line of text  

should be ignored。 



Empty Fields and Too Many Fields 



The next problem in our list is that some lines have empty text fields at the end。 Solving this  

problem would probably entail a solution similar to the previous one; but you should think of  

the big picture and understand that solving one problem might also solve another problem。 In  

this case; solving the problem of the empty fields also helps solve the problem of having too  

many fields。 

     Both of these problems are solved by knowing the data that is being manipulated。 As you’ve  

seen; the data stream assumes the following format: date; then lottery numbers 1 to 6; and then  

the bonus number。 The parts of the data stream that are not correct have the same format; with  

some extra information like replay number and empty fields。 Thus; the fix is to copy the date  

and append the remaining fields; as follows: 



            retval。Append(newDate) 

            For c1 As Integer = 0 To 7  

                retval。Append(〃 〃 & splitUpText(c1)) 

            Next 



     The first line of code appends the date to the StringBuilder buffer (retval)。 Then in the  

For loop that follows; a space and the fields 0 to 7 are copied to the StringBuilder buffer。 



Incorrect Data Format 



In some of the fields; the date has a period separator; in others; it has a hyphen。 The correct  

format is a period; and the code that fixes the date format is as follows: 



        If splitUpText(0)。Contains(〃…〃) Then 

            Dim dateSplit As String() = splitUpText(0)。Split(New Char() {〃…〃c}) 

            Dim newDate As String = 

                dateSplit(0) & 〃。〃 & dateSplit(1) & 〃。〃 & dateSplit(2) 



     A fix is needed if the first field contains a hyphen。 The  If statement tests for this using the  

Contains() method。 If a fix is needed; the first field is separated again into three subfields; where  

each subfield represents a part of the date (year; month; day)。 Then those three subfields are  

rebined and separated using the period and assigned to the variable newDate。 



Duplicate Dates 



The last problem that needs to be solved is having duplicate dates in the data stream。 The  

following code fixes this problem (the duplicate date code is bolded)。

                      If _dates。Contains(splitUpText(0)) Then 

                          Continue Do 

                      End If 

                      If splitUpText(0)。Length = 0 Then 

                          Continue Do 

                      End If 

                      If splitUpText(0)。Contains(〃…〃) Then 

                          Dim dateSplit As String() = splitUpText(0)。Split(New Char() {〃…〃c}) 

                          Dim newDate As String = _
