# Files Handling

## Project Description

This project contains some exercises to practice Reading, Writing, Creating, Copying, and some more use cases when handling files with Go.

## Key scenarios

1. **pathExists/**: Check if a given path truly exists.

2. **isFile/**: Check if a given path is a regular file.

3. **isDirectory/**: Check if a given path is a directory.

4. **readFull/**: Read a complete file at once .

5. **readByLine/**: Read a file line by line.

6. **readByWord/**: Read a file word by word.

7. **readByChar/**: Read a file character by character.

8. **createFile/**: Program for creating a new file.

9. **copyFile/**: Program to create a new file as a copy of another one.

10. **writeFile/**: Program for creating a file and writing some data within.

11. **appendData/**: Program for adding some new data in an existing file.

12. **catData/**: Program for printing on the terminal the content of a file.

## Accessories

You can always use the _./tmp/data.txt_ file when testing the programs.

## Recommendations

If you are beginning to learn Go, I recommend you to first check the basic Golang repos I have built to lay the foundation. Then come back and check these programs:

- [Basic Go - I](https://github.com/wfercanas/Basic-Golang-I)

- [Basic Go - II](https://github.com/wfercanas/Basic-Golang-II)
