[RESOLVED] Memory Leak Question

[steve65]

Hi all, I have the following code in a class that I am using to sort large text files in C#. The code works great except that I have a memory leak. I am assuming that this is the outputArray in the SortTextFile method causing the problem. From what I can tell there is no erase like function for C#. Is there a way to make sure that outputArray is disposed of?

Thanks Steve

public string[] FileToStringArray(string filePath)
{
	ArrayList fileArrayList = new ArrayList();
	string inputLine;
	string[] outputArray;
	StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(filePath);

	inputLine = sr.ReadLine();

	while(inputLine != null)
	{
		fileArrayList.Add(inputLine);
		inputLine = sr.ReadLine();
	}
	sr.Close();
	outputArray = new string[fileArrayList.Count];
	fileArrayList.CopyTo(outputArray);

	return outputArray;
}

public void StringArrayToFile(string[] inputArray, string filePath)
{
	StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(filePath);

		foreach (string inputLine in inputArray)
		{
			sw.WriteLine(inputLine);
		}
		sw.Close();
}

public void SortTextFile(string inputFilePath, string outputFilePath)
{
	string[] outputArray = this.FileToStringArray(inputFilePath);
	Array.Sort(outputArray);
	this.StringArrayToFile(outputArray, outputFilePath);
}
