The snippet of code was just supposed to write a string into a text file called "all_results.txt". I had errors implementing in File.WriteAllText. After searching the net for solutions, I tried using FileStream and StreamWriter as substitutes. The problem still persists.
It gave me:
IOException Unhandled: The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\MadDebater\Desktop\ConsoleTest1\ConsoleTest\bin\Debug\all_results.txt' because it is being used by another process.
Strangely, the errors occurs arbitrarily. It could be during the 3rd loop, or 45th loop before it hits an error. I provided the full code for that class in case the problem is deeper than it seems. I'm sure it has nothing to do with my virus scanner or anything like that.
try
{
using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(@"all_results.txt", FileMode.Create)) // Exception here
{
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(stream))
{
writer.WriteLine(result);
writer.Dispose();
writer.Close();
}
stream.Dispose();
stream.Close();
}
}
catch (IOException ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex);
}
Even when I try this, it still fails.
try
{
File.WriteAllText(@"all_results.txt", result); // Exception here
}
catch (IOException ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
Below is the full code for the class. It is meant to take in a list of Twitter tweets and classify them using Bayes Classification one by one.
