Read the contents of a file into a string
groovy
contents = file.text
erlang
Text = readfile("Solution607.erl"),
Text = readfile("Solution608.erl"),
clojure
(slurp "/tmp/foobar")
Process a file one line at a time
Open the source file to your solution and print each line in the file, prefixed by the line number, like:
1> First line of file
2> Second line of file
3> Third line of file
1> First line of file
2> Second line of file
3> Third line of file
groovy
int count = 0
file.eachLine { line ->
println "${++count} > $line"
}
file.eachLine { line ->
println "${++count} > $line"
}
file.eachLine { line, count ->
println "${++count} > $line"
}
println "${++count} > $line"
}

Write a string to a file
groovy
file.delete()
file << 'some text'
file << 'some text'
file.text = 'some text'
erlang
Line = "This line overwites file contents!\n",
{ok, IODevice} = file:open("test.txt", [write]), file:write(IODevice, Line), file:close(IODevice).
{ok, IODevice} = file:open("test.txt", [write]), file:write(IODevice, Line), file:close(IODevice).
clojure
(with-out-writer "output.txt" (println "Hello file!"))
Append to a file
groovy
file << 'some text'
erlang
Line = "This line appended to file!\n",
{ok, IODevice} = file:open("test.txt", [append]), file:write(IODevice, Line), file:close(IODevice).
{ok, IODevice} = file:open("test.txt", [append]), file:write(IODevice, Line), file:close(IODevice).
clojure
(with-out-append-writer "output.txt" (println "This is appended to the file"))
Process each file in a directory
groovy
dir.eachFile{ f -> process(f) }
erlang
% File basenames only - many tasks require absolute paths to work
lists:foreach(fun (FileOrDirPath) -> Worker(FileOrDirPath) end, file:list_dir(Directory)).
lists:foreach(fun (FileOrDirPath) -> Worker(FileOrDirPath) end, file:list_dir(Directory)).
% Absolute paths provided - will accomodate most tasks
lists:foreach(fun (FileOrDirPath) -> Worker(FileOrDirPath) end, list_dir_path(Directory)).
lists:foreach(fun (FileOrDirPath) -> Worker(FileOrDirPath) end, list_dir_path(Directory)).
clojure
; (defn process-file [f] "process one file" body...)
(map process-file (.listFiles (File. ".")))
(map process-file (.listFiles (File. ".")))
Process each file in a directory recursively
groovy
dir.eachFileRecurse{ f -> process(f) }
erlang
filelib:fold_files(Directory, ".*", true, fun (FileOrDirPath, Acc) -> Worker(FileOrDirPath), Acc end, []).
process_dir(Directory, Worker).
clojure
; (defn process-file [f] "process one file" body...)
(map process-file (file-seq (File. ".")))
(map process-file (file-seq (File. ".")))
