Basic Read Write
These examples are a quick introduction to performing basic IO using the Scala IO API
Java To Scala Wrong Way
A discouraged method of creating Scala IO objects from java objects
import scalax.io.Resource
val reader = new StringReader("hello")
// the fromReader method is passed a reference to a reader
// this means the Resource can only be used a single time
// only do this if you are passed a resource from a method and have
// no way of constructing the resource within the fromReader method.
val in = Resource.fromReader(reader)
val numVowels = in.chars.filter("aeiou" contains _).size
// *BOOM!* the second use will result in an exception because
// Resource does not have access to the construction of the reader
// just the reference to a previously created reader
val numNumbers = in.chars.filter('0' to '9' contains _)
// If you need a code block to construct the resource consider the following pattern:
val in2 = Resource.fromReader {
val string = "hello"
new StringReader(string)
}
