fileinput

-- import "github.com/doloopwhile/go-fileinput"

An analogous article of fileinput module in Python

Examples:

// reverse.go
// print file lines in reverse order.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
"github.com/doloopwhile/go-fileinput"
)
func main() {
sc := fileinput.Lines(os.Args[1:])
lines := []string{}
for sc.Scan() {
l := sc.Text()
lines = append(lines, l)
}
if sc.Err() != nil {
os.Stderr.WriteString(sc.Err().Error() + "\n")
os.Exit(1)
}
for i := len(lines) - 1; i >= 0; i-- {
fmt.Printf("%02d: %s\n", i+1, lines[i])
}
}

Usage

func StdOpen

funcStdOpen(namestring) (io.ReadCloser, error)

StdOpen open file with os.Open. However, it returns os.Stdin for "-".

type Scanner

typeScannerstruct {
Args []string// Names of files. It should be os.Args[1:] in typical use case.Openfunc(namestring) (io.ReadCloser, error) // Function to open files.SplitFunc bufio.SplitFunc// Argument of Split() of bufio.Split.
}

Scanner provides a interface like bufio.Scanner to reading data from multiple files.

It is not expected that members of Scanner is modified after first call of .Scan() If it was, it is undefined what happen.

func Lines

funcLines(args []string) *Scanner

Lines returns a new Scanner to read lines of files in args. If args is empty, it return a Scanner which scans os.Stdin.

func (*Scanner) Err

func (s*Scanner) Err() error

Err returns the first non-EOF error that was encountered by the Scanner or was returned by Open.

func (*Scanner) Scan

func (s*Scanner) Scan() bool

Scan advances internal scanner to the next token like Scan method of bufio.Scanner. It automatically open/close files specified in Args.

func (*Scanner) Text

func (s*Scanner) Text() string

Text returns the most recent token generated by a call to Scan as a newly allocated string holding its bytes.
