TextFile - Text file access
Inherits:
odaba::utils::File
The class has been provided in order to provide specific support for text files. Text files must not contain character not supported by the selected character set except white space characters (\t, \r, \n ...).
Text files may be processed in three different processing modes:
- Simple text processing (SimpleProcessing)
- Formatted text processing (FormattedProcessing)
- Line oriented text processing (LineProcessing)
Text processing mode is accessible via textProcessing property.
Text file processing always works sequentially from beginning of file until end. One may read data only, when access mode is Read. In case of access mode Update, new data is appended to the file. In case of Write, data will be overwritten. Write functions cannot be called in case of access mode Read.
