Read the contents of a file into a string

haskell
readFile "c:/tmp/myFile.txt"
fantom
contents := File(`file.text`).readAllStr
erlang
Text = readfile("Solution607.erl"),
Text = readfile("Solution608.erl"),

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
haskell
import Data.List

prefixWithNumber str n = show n ++ "> " ++ str

numberStrings (x:xs) n = prefixWithNumber x n : (numberStrings xs (n+1))
numberStrings [] n = []

main = do
str <- readFile "prefix.hs"
putStrLn (intercalate "\n" (numberStrings (lines str) 1))
prefix n str = show n ++ "> " ++ str

main = readFile "prefix.hs" >>=
putStr . unlines . zipWith prefix [1..] . lines
fantom
File(`input.text`).readAllLines.each |Str s, Int i| { echo("${i+1}> $s") }
erlang
Reader = fun (IODevice) -> io:get_line(IODevice, "") end,
Worker = fun (Line, N) -> io:format("~B> ~s", [N, Line]), N + 1 end,

while_not_eof("Solution609.erl", Reader, Worker, 1).
Reader = fun (Filename) -> {ok, Contents} = file:read_file(Filename), Contents end,
Transformer = fun (Line, N) -> string:concat(string:concat(integer_to_list(N), "> "), Line) end,
Printer = fun (Line) -> io:format("~s~n", [Line]) end,

Lines = string:tokens(binary_to_list(Reader("Solution610.erl")), "\n"),
NewLines = lists:zipwith(Transformer, Lines, lists:seq(1, length(Lines))),
lists:foreach(Printer, NewLines).

Write a string to a file

haskell
writeFile "filename" "stringe"
fantom
File(`out.txt`).out.writeChars("some text").flush
erlang
Line = "This line overwites file contents!\n",
{ok, IODevice} = file:open("test.txt", [write]), file:write(IODevice, Line), file:close(IODevice).

Append to a file

haskell
appendfile "filename" "string"
fantom
File(`out.txt`).out(true).writeChars("some text").flush
erlang
Line = "This line appended to file!\n",
{ok, IODevice} = file:open("test.txt", [append]), file:write(IODevice, Line), file:close(IODevice).

Process each file in a directory

haskell
import System.Directory
import Control.Monad

process filename = putStrLn filename

main = getDirectoryContents "." >>=
filterM doesFileExist >>=
mapM_ process
fantom
File(`./`).list.each { process(it) }
erlang
% File basenames only - many tasks require absolute paths to work
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)).

Process each file in a directory recursively

haskell
import System.Directory (doesFileExist, getDirectoryContents)
import System.FilePath ((</>))

process :: FilePath -> IO ()
process filename = putStrLn filename

mapDir :: (FilePath -> IO ()) -> FilePath -> IO ()
mapDir proc fp = do
isFile <- doesFileExist fp -- is a file of fp
if isFile then proc fp -- process the file
else getDirectoryContents fp >>=
mapM_ (mapDir proc . (fp </>)) . filter (`notElem` [".", ".."])

main = mapDir process "."
fantom
File(`./`).walk { process(it) }
erlang
filelib:fold_files(Directory, ".*", true, fun (FileOrDirPath, Acc) -> Worker(FileOrDirPath), Acc end, []).
process_dir(Directory, Worker).
