How to implement file reading and modification operations in golang

Go language is one of the most widely used programming languages. It has the advantages of simplicity, efficiency, static typing, and memory safety. It has been widely used in system programming, Web development, data processing and other fields. This article will explore how to use Go language to implement file reading and modification operations.

1. Reading files

In the Go language, file reading operations usually require the use of standard library functions such as os and bufio. The following code demonstrates the basic operation of reading a file:

package main

import (
    "bufio"
    "fmt"
    "os"
)

func main() {
    // 打开文件
    file, err := os.Open("example.txt")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Open file failed:", err)
        return
    }
    // 关闭文件
    defer file.Close()

    // 读取文件内容
    scanner := bufio.NewScanner(file)
    for scanner.Scan() {
        // 输出文件内容
        fmt.Println(scanner.Text())
    }
    // 检查是否读取出错
    if err := scanner.Err(); err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Read file failed:", err)
        return
    }
}

In the above code, first use the os.Open() function to open the example.txt file. If the opening fails, an error message is output and the file exits. Then use the defer statement to close the file before the function returns. Then use the bufio.NewScanner() function to create a scanner object, read the file content line by line, and output it to the console. If there is an error in reading, the error message will also be output and exit.

2. File modification

For the file modification operation, you first need to open the file and open the file in the specified opening method. In the Go language, there are three ways to open files, namely read-only mode (os.O_RDONLY), write-only mode (os.O_WRONLY) and read-write mode (os.O_RDWR).

In the following example, we open the file in read-only mode, read the file content and print it on the console. Then open the file in read-write mode, modify the contents of the file, and save it to the file.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "io/ioutil"
    "os"
)

func main() {
    // 只读方式打开文件
    file, err := os.OpenFile("example.txt", os.O_RDONLY, 0666)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Open file failed:", err)
        return
    }
    // 关闭文件
    defer file.Close()
    
    // 读取文件内容
    data, err := ioutil.ReadAll(file)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Read file failed:", err)
        return
    }
    fmt.Println(string(data))

    // 读写方式打开文件，如果文件不存在则创建
    file, err = os.OpenFile("example.txt", os.O_RDWR|os.O_CREATE, 0666)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Open file failed:", err)
        return
    }
    // 关闭文件
    defer file.Close()

    // 修改文件内容
    _, err = file.WriteString("This is a modified file.")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Write file failed:", err)
        return
    }
}

In the above code, first use the os.OpenFile() function to open the example.txt file in read-only mode, read the file content, and then print it on the console. Then open the file for reading and writing, create it if it does not exist, and use the defer statement to close the file before the end of the function. Finally, use the file.WriteString() function to write the new file content into the file.
