Golang : Copy file
Here’s an example to copy a file named “input.txt” to another file named “output.txt”.
Copying files can be done in several ways in Go. The example below is the easiest :
package main
import (
"io"
"fmt"
"os"
)
func main () {
// open files r and w
r, err := os.Open("input.txt")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer r.Close()
w, err := os.Create("output.txt")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer w.Close()
// do the actual work
n, err := io.Copy(w, r)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Printf("Copied %v bytes\n", n)
}
With the file input.txt
in the same directory,
execute >go run copyfile.go
and output will something similar to this
Copied 561 bytes
