std/fs

File system operations for reading, writing, and managing files.

Struct: `File`

Represents a file in the file system.

struct File {
private:
    content: string;
public:
    path: string;
}

import "std/fs";

let file = new File("data.txt");

Creates a File object. The file is not opened until read() or open() is called.

Read the entire content of the file and store it internally.

let file = new File("data.txt");
let content = file.read();
println(content);

Open and read the file, storing content internally.

let file = new File("data.txt");
file.open();
// File content is now loaded

Write content to the file.

let file = new File("output.txt");
file.write("Hello, World!");

Close the file (consumes the File object).

let file = new File("data.txt");
file.read();
file.close();  // File is consumed

Check if the file exists.

let file = new File("config.json");
if file.exists() {
    println("File found");
}

Delete the file from the file system.

let file = new File("temp.txt");
file.remove();

Read the contents of a directory (instance method).

let file = new File(".");
let entries = file.read_dir("./src");

Read a file without modifying the File instance’s content.

let file = new File("dummy");
let content = file.read_file("actual.txt");
