@class wxTextFile
|
||||
@wxheader{textfile.h}
|
||||
|
||||
The wxTextFile is a simple class which allows to work with text files on line by
|
||||
line basis. It also understands the differences in line termination characters
|
||||
under different platforms and will not do anything bad to files with "non
|
||||
native" line termination sequences - in fact, it can be also used to modify the
|
||||
text files and change the line termination characters from one type (say DOS) to
|
||||
another (say Unix).
|
||||
|
||||
One word of warning: the class is not at all optimized for big files and thus
|
||||
it will load the file entirely into memory when opened. Of course, you should
|
||||
not
|
||||
work in this way with large files (as an estimation, anything over 1 Megabyte is
|
||||
surely too big for this class). On the other hand, it is not a serious
|
||||
limitation for small files like configuration files or program sources
|
||||
which are well handled by wxTextFile.
|
||||
|
||||
The typical things you may do with wxTextFile in order are:
|
||||
|
||||
Create and open it: this is done with either
|
||||
wxTextFile::Create or wxTextFile::Open
|
||||
function which opens the file (name may be specified either as the argument to
|
||||
these functions or in the constructor), reads its contents in memory (in the
|
||||
case of @c Open()) and closes it.
|
||||
Work with the lines in the file: this may be done either with "direct
|
||||
access" functions like wxTextFile::GetLineCount and
|
||||
wxTextFile::GetLine (@e operator[] does exactly the same
|
||||
but looks more like array addressing) or with "sequential access" functions
|
||||
which include wxTextFile::GetFirstLine/
|
||||
wxTextFile::GetNextLine and also
|
||||
wxTextFile::GetLastLine/wxTextFile::GetPrevLine.
|
||||
For the sequential access functions the current line number is maintained: it is
|
||||
returned by wxTextFile::GetCurrentLine and may be
|
||||
changed with wxTextFile::GoToLine.
|
||||
Add/remove lines to the file: wxTextFile::AddLine and
|
||||
wxTextFile::InsertLine add new lines while
|
||||
wxTextFile::RemoveLine deletes the existing ones.
|
||||
wxTextFile::Clear resets the file to empty.
|
||||
Save your changes: notice that the changes you make to the file will @b not be
|
||||
saved automatically; calling wxTextFile::Close or doing
|
||||
nothing discards them! To save the changes you must explicitly call
|
||||
wxTextFile::Write - here, you may also change the line
|
||||
termination type if you wish.
