SplFileObject + LimitIterator + offset


I have data file with two lines (two lines just for my example, in real, that file can contain millions of lines) and I use SplFileObject and LimitIterator with offseting. But this combination have strange behaviour in some cases:

$offset = 0;
$file = new \SplFileObject($filePath);
$fileIterator = new \LimitIterator($file, $offset, 100);
foreach ($fileIterator as $key => $line) {
  echo $key;
}

Output is: 01

But with $offset set to 1, output is blank (foreach doesn't iterate any line).

My data file contain this:

{"generatedAt":1434665322,"numRecords":"1}
{"id":"215255","code":"NB000110"}

What I'm doing wrong?

Thanks


Solution

  • Required:

    Use SplFileObject to process a number of records from:

    The issue is that SplFileObject gets confused as regards the last record in the file. This prevents it working correctly in foreach loops.

    This code uses the SplFileObject and 'skip records' and 'processes records'. Alas, It cannot use foreach loops.

    The code:

    <?php
    
    $filePath = __DIR__ . '/Q30932555.txt';
    // $filePath = __DIR__ . '/Q30932555_1.txt';
    
    $offset = 1;
    $recordsToProcess = 100;
    
    $file = new \SplFileObject($filePath);
    
    // skip the records
    $file->seek($offset);
    
    $recordsProcessed = 0;
    while (     ($file->valid() || strlen($file->current()) > 0)
             &&  $recordsProcessed < $recordsToProcess
           ) {
        $recordsProcessed++;
        echo '<br />', 'current: ', $file->key(), ' ', $file->current();
        $file->next();
    }
