How to read a data file using golang?












0














I have a txt file :



2
Data 5 1.32
DataSecond 4 5.41
4
...


And so on. How to read the first line to know the count and then go on spliting the other lines to get individual parameters? I tried doing as follows, but it is obviously wrong.



f, err := os.Open("DATA.txt")
check(err)
s := bufio.NewScanner(f)
for s.Scan() {
line := s.Text()
count, err := strconv.Atoi(line)
check(err)
for i := 0; i < count; i++ {
testArray := strings.Fields(s.Text())
for _, v := range testArray {
fmt.Println(v)
}
}
}

You could do something like this, read the single lines into a count int
and use it as a test. If count is > 0 then use sscanf to get the other values



func main() {
f, err := os.Open("DATA.txt")
check(err)
s := bufio.NewScanner(f)
count := 0
for s.Scan() {
line := s.Text()
if count < 1 {
count, err = strconv.Atoi(line)
check(err)
continue
}
count--
var tag string
var n int
var f float64
fmt.Sscanf(line, "%s %d %f", &tag, &n, &f)
// not sure what you really wnant to do with the data!
fmt.Println(n, f, tag)
}
}

    You just forgot to Scan() inside the inner loop.



    f, err := os.Open("DATA.txt")
    check(err)
    s := bufio.NewScanner(f)
    for s.Scan() {
    line := s.Text()
    count, err := strconv.Atoi(line)
    check(err)
    for i := 0; i < count && s.Scan(); i++ {
    testArray := strings.Fields(s.Text())
    for _, v := range testArray {
    fmt.Println(v)
    }
    }
    }
