Partial Filtering
In some cases you might not want to filter all of the text from a file or stream. You might prefer to stop filtering, saving time and resources, as soon as you find the information that you require.
You can read filtered text from a stream provided by the Text()
method on your Document
object. This allows you to stop processing before the end of the stream. KeyView only processes as much of the document as it needs to output the text you read.
using (Document myDoc = session.Open(inputFilePathOrStream))
{
try
{
using (FileStream fs = File.Create(outputFilePath))
using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fs))
using (DocumentStreamReader dsr = myDoc.Text())
{
while (!dsr.EndOfStream)
{
// Read filtered text one line at a time
var filterOutput = dsr.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine(filterOutput);
sw.WriteLine(filterOutput);
// Here the program can check to see if a certain
// condition is met, and stop filtering
}
}
}
catch (KeyViewException e)
{
Console.WriteLine($"{e.Message}");
}
}
