以低级方式修改或删除文本文件中的一行？

我正在 Delphi 中使用文本文件，并且我不希望使用加载/保存字符串列表的方法。我打算维护一个开放的文件流，在其中读取和写入数据，将大量数据保存在硬盘上而不是内存中。我有一个简单的概念，即向文本文件写入新行并读取它们，但是当涉及到修改和删除它们时，我找不到任何好的资源。

该文件中的每一行都包含一个名称和等号，其余部分是数据。例如，SOMEUNIQUENAME=SomeStringValue。我打算在线程内保持文件打开一段时间。该线程执行传入请求以获取、设置或删除某些数据字段。我用WriteLn and ReadLn循环中，评估EOF。下面是我如何读取数据的示例：

FFile = TextFile;

...

function TFileWrapper.ReadData(const Name: String): String;
var
  S: String; //Temporary line to be parsed
  N: String; //Temporary name of field
begin
  Result:= '';
  Reset(FFile);
  while not EOF(FFile) do begin
    ReadLn(FFile, S);
    N:= UpperCase(Copy(S, 1, Pos('=', S)-1));
    if N = UpperCase(Name) then begin
      Delete(S, 1, Pos('=', S));
      Result:= S;
      Break;
    end;
  end;
end;

...然后我触发一个事件，通知发送者结果。这些请求位于队列内，该队列有点像这些请求的消息泵。该线程只是重复处理队列中的下一个请求，类似于典型应用程序的工作方式。

我已经准备好能够写入和删除这些字段的程序，但我不知道需要做什么才能实际对文件执行操作。

procedure TFileWrapper.WriteData(const Name, Value: String);
var
  S: String; //Temporary line to be parsed
  N: String; //Temporary name of field
begin
  Result:= '';
  Reset(FFile);
  while not EOF(FFile) do begin
    ReadLn(FFile, S);
    N:= UpperCase(Copy(S, 1, Pos('=', S)-1));
    if N = UpperCase(Name) then begin
      //How to re-write this line?
      Break;
    end;
  end;
end;

procedure TFileWrapper.DeleteData(const Name: String);
var
  S: String; //Temporary line to be parsed
  N: String; //Temporary name of field
begin
  Result:= '';
  Reset(FFile);
  while not EOF(FFile) do begin
    ReadLn(FFile, S);
    N:= UpperCase(Copy(S, 1, Pos('=', S)-1));
    if N = UpperCase(Name) then begin
      //How to delete this line?
      Break;
    end;
  end;
end;

最后，我需要避免将整个文件加载到内存中才能完成此任务。

我发现这是一个有趣的问题，所以我制作了一个小型控制台应用程序。

我用了3种方法：

• 字符串列表
• 流读取器/流写入器
• 文本文件

所有方法均以 10kb 大小的文本文件和 1Mb 大小的文本文件计时并重复 100 次。 这是程序：

program Project16;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

uses
  SysUtils, Classes, StrUtils, Diagnostics, IOUtils;

procedure DeleteLine(StrList: TStringList; SearchPattern: String);

var
  Index : Integer;

begin
 for Index := 0 to StrList.Count-1 do
  begin
   if ContainsText(StrList[Index], SearchPattern) then
    begin
     StrList.Delete(Index);
     Break;
    end;
  end;
end;

procedure DeleteLineWithStringList(Filename : string; SearchPattern : String);

var StrList : TStringList;

begin
 StrList := TStringList.Create;
 try
  StrList.LoadFromFile(Filename);
  DeleteLine(StrList, SearchPattern);
  // don't overwrite our input file so we can test
  StrList.SaveToFile(TPath.ChangeExtension(Filename, '.new'));
 finally
  StrList.Free;
 end;
end;

procedure DeleteLineWithStreamReaderAndWriter(Filename : string; SearchPattern : String);

var
  Reader    : TStreamReader;
  Writer    : TStreamWriter;
  Line      : String;
  DoSearch  : Boolean;
  DoWrite   : Boolean;

begin
 Reader := TStreamReader.Create(Filename);
 Writer := TStreamWriter.Create(TPath.ChangeExtension(Filename, '.new'));
 try
  DoSearch := True;
  DoWrite := True;
  while Reader.Peek >= 0 do
   begin
    Line := Reader.ReadLine;
    if DoSearch then
     begin
      DoSearch := not ContainsText(Line, SearchPattern);
      DoWrite := DoSearch;
     end;
    if DoWrite then
     Writer.WriteLine(Line)
    else
     DoWrite := True;
   end;
 finally
  Reader.Free;
  Writer.Free;
 end;
end;

procedure DeleteLineWithTextFile(Filename : string; SearchPattern : String);

var
 InFile    : TextFile;
 OutFile   : TextFile;
 Line      : String;
 DoSearch  : Boolean;
 DoWrite   : Boolean;


begin
 AssignFile(InFile, Filename);
 AssignFile(OutFile, TPath.ChangeExtension(Filename, '.new'));
 Reset(InFile);
 Rewrite(OutFile);
 try
  DoSearch := True;
  DoWrite := True;
  while not EOF(InFile) do
   begin
    Readln(InFile, Line);
    if DoSearch then
     begin
      DoSearch := not ContainsText(Line, SearchPattern);
      DoWrite := DoSearch;
     end;
    if DoWrite then
     Writeln(OutFile, Line)
    else
     DoWrite := True;
   end;
 finally
  CloseFile(InFile);
  CloseFile(OutFile);
 end;
end;

procedure TimeDeleteLineWithStreamReaderAndWriter(Iterations : Integer);

var
  Count : Integer;
  Sw    : TStopWatch;

begin
 Writeln(Format('Delete line with stream reader/writer - file 10kb, %d iterations', [Iterations]));
 Sw := TStopwatch.StartNew;
 for Count := 1 to Iterations do
  DeleteLineWithStreamReaderAndWriter('c:\temp\text10kb.txt', 'thislinewillbedeleted=');
 Sw.Stop;
 Writeln(Format('Elapsed time : %d milliseconds', [Sw.ElapsedMilliseconds]));
 Writeln(Format('Delete line with stream reader/writer - file 1Mb, %d iterations', [Iterations]));
 Sw := TStopwatch.StartNew;
 for Count := 1 to Iterations do
  DeleteLineWithStreamReaderAndWriter('c:\temp\text1Mb.txt', 'thislinewillbedeleted=');
 Sw.Stop;
 Writeln(Format('Elapsed time : %d milliseconds', [Sw.ElapsedMilliseconds]));
end;

procedure TimeDeleteLineWithStringList(Iterations : Integer);

var
  Count : Integer;
  Sw    : TStopWatch;

begin
 Writeln(Format('Delete line with TStringlist - file 10kb, %d iterations', [Iterations]));
 Sw := TStopwatch.StartNew;
 for Count := 1 to Iterations do
  DeleteLineWithStringList('c:\temp\text10kb.txt', 'thislinewillbedeleted=');
 Sw.Stop;
 Writeln(Format('Elapsed time : %d milliseconds', [Sw.ElapsedMilliseconds]));
 Writeln(Format('Delete line with TStringlist - file 1Mb, %d iterations', [Iterations]));
 Sw := TStopwatch.StartNew;
 for Count := 1 to Iterations do
  DeleteLineWithStringList('c:\temp\text1Mb.txt', 'thislinewillbedeleted=');
 Sw.Stop;
 Writeln(Format('Elapsed time : %d milliseconds', [Sw.ElapsedMilliseconds]));
end;

procedure TimeDeleteLineWithTextFile(Iterations : Integer);

var
  Count : Integer;
  Sw    : TStopWatch;

begin
 Writeln(Format('Delete line with text file - file 10kb, %d iterations', [Iterations]));
 Sw := TStopwatch.StartNew;
 for Count := 1 to Iterations do
  DeleteLineWithTextFile('c:\temp\text10kb.txt', 'thislinewillbedeleted=');
 Sw.Stop;
 Writeln(Format('Elapsed time : %d milliseconds', [Sw.ElapsedMilliseconds]));
 Writeln(Format('Delete line with text file - file 1Mb, %d iterations', [Iterations]));
 Sw := TStopwatch.StartNew;
 for Count := 1 to Iterations do
  DeleteLineWithTextFile('c:\temp\text1Mb.txt', 'thislinewillbedeleted=');
 Sw.Stop;
 Writeln(Format('Elapsed time : %d milliseconds', [Sw.ElapsedMilliseconds]));
end;

begin
  try
    TimeDeleteLineWithStringList(100);
    TimeDeleteLineWithStreamReaderAndWriter(100);
    TimeDeleteLineWithTextFile(100);
    Writeln('Press ENTER to quit');
    Readln;
  except
    on E: Exception do
      Writeln(E.ClassName, ': ', E.Message);
  end;
end.

Output:

Delete line with TStringlist - file 10kb, 100 iterations
Elapsed time : 188 milliseconds
Delete line with TStringlist - file 1Mb, 100 iterations
Elapsed time : 5137 milliseconds
Delete line with stream reader/writer - file 10kb, 100 iterations
Elapsed time : 456 milliseconds
Delete line with stream reader/writer - file 1Mb, 100 iterations
Elapsed time : 22382 milliseconds
Delete line with text file - file 10kb, 100 iterations
Elapsed time : 250 milliseconds
Delete line with text file - file 1Mb, 100 iterations
Elapsed time : 9656 milliseconds
Press ENTER to quit

正如您所看到的，TStringList 是这里的获胜者。 既然您无法使用 TStringList，那么 TextFile 毕竟是一个不错的选择......
