## Bufio

**Uses:**

### readLines

Read reader[like file], line by line

```ts title="readLines"
import { readLines } from "https://deno.land/std/io/mod.ts";
import * as path from "https://deno.land/std/path/mod.ts";

const filename = path.join(Deno.cwd(), "std/io/README.md");
let fileReader = await Deno.open(filename);

for await (let line of readLines(fileReader)) {
  console.log(line);
}
```

**Output:**

````text
# std/io

## readLines

```ts
import * as path from "https://deno.land/std/path/mod.ts";

## Rest of the file
````

### readStringDelim

Read reader`[like file]` chunk by chunk, splitting based on delimiter.

```ts title="readStringDelim"
import { readLines } from "https://deno.land/std/io/mod.ts";
import * as path from "https://deno.land/std/path/mod.ts";

const filename = path.join(Deno.cwd(), "std/io/README.md");
let fileReader = await Deno.open(filename);

for await (let line of readStringDelim(fileReader, "\n")) {
  console.log(line);
}
```

**Output:**

````text
# std/io

## readLines

```ts
import * as path from "https://deno.land/std/path/mod.ts";

## Rest of the file
````

## Reader

### StringReader

Create a `Reader` object for `string`.

```ts
import { StringReader } from "https://deno.land/std/io/mod.ts";

const data = new Uint8Array(6);
const r = new StringReader("abcdef");
const res0 = await r.read(data);
const res1 = await r.read(new Uint8Array(6));

// Number of bytes read
console.log(res0); // 6
console.log(res1); // null, no byte left to read. EOL

// text

console.log(new TextDecoder().decode(data)); // abcdef
```

**Output:**

```text
6
null
abcdef
```

## Writer

### StringWriter

Create a `Writer` object for `string`.

```ts
import {
  StringWriter,
  StringReader,
  copyN,
} from "https://deno.land/std/io/mod.ts";

const w = new StringWriter("base");
const r = new StringReader("0123456789");
await copyN(r, w, 4); // copy 4 bytes

// Number of bytes read
console.log(w.toString()); //base0123

await Deno.copy(r, w); // copy all
console.log(w.toString()); // base0123456789
```

**Output:**

```text
base0123
base0123456789
```
