Undo a file readline() operation so file-pointer is back in original state

You have to remember the position by calling file.tell() before the readline and then calling file.seek() to rewind. Something like: fp = open(‘myfile’) last_pos = fp.tell() line = fp.readline() while line != ”: if line == ‘SPECIAL’: fp.seek(last_pos) other_function(fp) break last_pos = fp.tell() line = fp.readline() I can’t recall if it is safe to call … Read more

How to wait for a keypress in R?

Simply write: readline(prompt=”Press [enter] to continue”) If you don’t want to assign it to a variable and don’t want a return printed in the console, wrap the readline() in an invisible(): invisible(readline(prompt=”Press [enter] to continue”))

subprocess readline hangs waiting for EOF

As @Ron Reiter pointed out, you can’t use readline() because cout doesn’t print newlines implicitly — you either need std::endl or “\n” here. For an interactive use, when you can’t change the child program, pexpect module provides several convenience methods (and in general it solves for free: input/output directly from/to terminal (outside of stdin/stdout) and … Read more

What is the difference between File.ReadLines() and File.ReadAllLines()? [duplicate]

is there any performance difference related to these methods?
