Read the contents of a file into a string
scala
val text = FileUtils.readFileToString(new File("Solution467.scala"))
val text = Source.fromFile("Solution1256.scala").mkString("")
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
1> First line of file
2> Second line of file
3> Third line of file
scala
val source = Source.fromFile(new File("Solution468.scala")).getLines
var n = 1 ; while (source.hasNext) { printf("%d> %s", n, source.next) ; n += 1 }
var n = 1 ; while (source.hasNext) { printf("%d> %s", n, source.next) ; n += 1 }
val source = Source.fromFile(new File("Solution469.scala")).getLines
for ((line, n) <- source zipWithIndex) { printf("%d> %s", (n + 1), line) }
for ((line, n) <- source zipWithIndex) { printf("%d> %s", (n + 1), line) }
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).
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))),

Write a string to a file
scala
FileUtils.writeStringToFile(new File("test.txt"), "This line overwites file contents!")
val fw = new FileWriter("test.txt") ; fw.write("This line overwites file contents!") ; fw.close()
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).
Append to a file
scala
val fw = new FileWriter("test.txt", true) ; fw.write("This line appended to file!") ; fw.close()
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).
Process each file in a directory
scala
for (file <- new File("c:\\").listFiles) { processFile(file) }
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)).
Process each file in a directory recursively
scala
processDirectory(new File("c:\\"))
erlang
filelib:fold_files(Directory, ".*", true, fun (FileOrDirPath, Acc) -> Worker(FileOrDirPath), Acc end, []).
process_dir(Directory, Worker).
