Stream^(native)

Stream class has no public constructor to creates new instance use Stream.openFile, Stream.openSocket or Stream.openString functions.

Properties

• encoding : Integer
  Gets or sets encoding used by the stream. For now it supports either "none" (raw byte stream) and "utf-8" encodings.
• isInput : Boolean
  Reports if this is an input stream or not.
• name : String
  Name of the stream - either file name or url where the data came from. Can be an empty string, e.g. for in memory streams.

Methods

• $(str) : Boolean
  Stringizer method, outputs content in brackets appended by \n into the stream.
• $(string) : Boolean
  Stringizer method, outputs content in brackets appended by \n into the stream.
• close() : Boolean
  Closes this stream - file, socket or string stream buffer.
• getc() : Integer
  Reads one character from the stream.
• openFile(fileName [,mode]) : Stream
  Opens the file which name is stored in the file-name string and returns an instance of Stream object.
• openSocket(addressPort, timeout = 10, numberOfAttempts = 1) : Stream
  Opens the socket stream which address and port is stored in the address-port string and returns an instance of Stream object. Opens socket stream in read-write mode.
• openString(initialSize|initialValue) : Stream
  Opens in-memory string output stream with initialSize (integer) of its buffer.
• print(str) : Boolean
  Outputs string into the stream. print is an equivalent of: stream << str; operation.
• printf(format [, value1[, value2[, ...[, valueN]]]]) : Boolean
  Prints formatted text by the rules of printf C/C++ function.
• println(str) : Boolean
  Outputs string appended by \n into the stream. println is an equivalent of: stream<
• putc(charCode) : Boolean
  Outputs character into the stream. Character defined by its integer code. putc is an equivalent of: stream << charcode; operation.
• readln() : String
  Reads sequence of characters from stream until '\n' character.
• scanf(format) : Array
  Scans the stream for values according to the rules of scanf C/C++ function with wildcard (like %[a-z] ) extensions.
• toString() : Stream
  Returns content of string buffer if this is a string stream or name/address of the stream if it was open as file or socket stream.
