Basic Read Write

These examples are a quick introduction to performing basic IO using the Scala IO API

More On Writing

several examples of writing data
    import scalax.io.Resource._
    import java.io.File
    import scalax.io.{Seekable,Codec}
    // see codec example for why codec is required
    implicit val codec = Codec.UTF8

    val someFile: Seekable = fromFileString("someFile")

    // write bytes
    // By default the file write will replace
    // an existing file with the new data
    someFile.write (Array (1,2,3) map ( _.toByte))

    // another option for write is openOptions which allows the caller
    // to specify in detail how the write should take place
    // the openOptions parameter takes a collections of OpenOptions objects
    // which are filesystem specific in general but the standard options
    // are defined in the OpenOption object
    // in addition to the definition common collections are also defined
    // WriteAppend for example is a List(Create, Append, Write)
    someFile.write (List (1,2,3) map (_.toByte))

    // write a string to the file
    someFile.write("Hello my dear file")

    // with all options (these are the default options explicitely declared)
    someFile.write("Hello my dear file")(codec = Codec.UTF8)

    // Convert several strings to the file
    // same options fromString as for write
    someFile.writeStrings( "It costs" :: "one" :: "dollar" :: Nil)

    // Now all options
    someFile.writeStrings("It costs" :: "one" :: "dollar" :: Nil,
                    separator="||\n||")(codec = Codec.UTF8)
