Hi all,
I write a small script to read old files and write to new files. Either
reading line by line or whole file at once then I ask Ruby to write to
new files. The new file is much smaller than the old one. I also find
that the new file losses many information. How to explain this?
Thanks,
Li
#################script-1 read file line by line and write to a new file
path='C:\\Allo12-Y2'
file_names=[]
Dir.open(path).each do|f|
file_names<<path+"\\#{f}" unless f=~/^\.\.*$/
end
file_names.each do|f|
new_file=File.open("#{f}b",'w')
File.open(f,'r') do|file|
file.each_line{|line|new_file.print line }
end
end
###################sctript-2 read whole file and write to a new file
path='C:\\Allo12-Y2'
file_names=[]
Dir.open(path).each do|f|
file_names<<path+"\\#{f}" unless f=~/^\.\.*$/
end
file_names.each do|f|
file=File.open(f,'r') #open file for read
new_file=File.open("#{f}b",'w')#open file for write
new_file.print file.read #write old file to new file
end
### size in old file: AlloY2.001 is 609kb
size in new file: AlloY2.001b is 47bk
