c# Save Streamwriter after every 200 Cycles without Closing

Question

I'm using a StreamWriter to write some data to a file.

System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter(path);
while(something_is_happening && my_flag_is_true)
     file.WriteLine(some_text_goes_Inside);

file.close();

What i noticed is, till the close is called no data is written to the file.

Is there any way i can save the contents to the file before closing.

Answer 1

For this purpose you can use Flush method.

System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter(path);
int counter = 0;
while(something_is_happening && my_flag_is_true)
{
    file.WriteLine(some_text_goes_Inside);
    counter++;
    if(counter < 200) continue;
    file.Flush();
    counter = 0;
}
file.Close();

I think you are looking for Flush.

file.Flush();

should do the trick.
