Golang : Read file
This is the most basic way of how to read a file into buffer and display its content chunk by chunk. This example read plain text file, if you are reading a binary file... change fmt.Println(string(buffer[:n]))
to fmt.Println(buffer[:n])
(without the string).
For now, this is the most basic example of reading a file in Go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"io"
"os"
)
func main() {
file, err := os.Open("sometextfile.txt")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
defer file.Close()
// create a buffer to keep chunks that are read
buffer := make([]byte, 1024)
for {
// read a chunk
n, err := file.Read(buffer)
if err != nil && err != io.EOF { panic(err) }
if n == 0 { break }
// out the file content
fmt.Println(string(buffer[:n]))
}
}
