There may be various way to read plain text file in kotlin.
I want know what are the possible ways and how I can use them.
1. Using BufferedReader
import java.io.File
import java.io.BufferedReader
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
val bufferedReader: BufferedReader = File("example.txt").bufferedReader()
val inputString = bufferedReader.use { it.readText() }
println(inputString)
}
2. Using InputStream
Read By Line
import java.io.File
import java.io.InputStream
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
val inputStream: InputStream = File("example.txt").inputStream()
val lineList = mutableListOf<String>()
inputStream.bufferedReader().forEachLine { lineList.add(it) }
lineList.forEach{println("> " + it)}
}
Read All Lines
import java.io.File
import java.io.InputStream
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
val inputStream: InputStream = File("example.txt").inputStream()
val inputString = inputStream.bufferedReader().use { it.readText() }
println(inputString)
}
3. Use File directly
import java.io.File
import java.io.BufferedReader
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
val lineList = mutableListOf<String>()
File("example.txt").useLines { lines -> lines.forEach { lineList.add(it) }}
lineList.forEach { println("> " + it) }
}
