The following entry in the Free Pascal contributed units was modified: Name : StrWrap1 Author : Lars (L505) & Jeff (YetAnotherGeek) Email : fpcunits1(at)z505(dot)com Homepage : http://z505.com/ FTP site : https://opensvn.csie.org/pspcgi/psp-1.6.x-devel/extras/strwrap1/ Version : SVN Date : 2007-03-19 Category : File Handling Supported OS : All (Linux, bsd, win, etc) Description : Some string and array functions to make getting data out of a text files easy, without using stringlists or functions that would haul in a lot of classes. Sometimes you find a StringList <b>overkill</b> - these are some simple but powerful string & array operations. <p> This unit is essentially a wrapper for blockread, readln, assign, reset, and more. <pre> -GetFileSize <i>text or binary file</i> -StrLoadFile, StrSaveFile (FileToString, StringToFile) -GetLn1, GetLnN, GetLineCount -ArrayLoadFile, ArrayLoadLines, ArrayLoadRng -StrLoadLines, StrLoadRng -OpenFile and FileExists without using sysutils -GetLineCount of file </i> </pre> No reliance on hefty 'classes' or Sysutils unit. The entire file is not loaded into the memory with these functions - only the precise lines that you want. Stringlists in contrast, loads the entire file into memory no matter what! <p> A web based Tail emulator was even built (checks last ten lines of file continually) and that utility is <a href="http://opensvn.csie.org/pspcgi/psp-1.6.x-devel/examples/tail-emulator/emutail.pp";>here</a>
