load()

void load	(	const String &	filename,
		bool	trim_lines = false,
		Int	first_n = -1,
		bool	skip_empty_lines = false
	)

Loads data from a text file.

Parameters

filename	The input file name
trim_lines	Whether or not the lines are trimmed when reading them from file
first_n	If set, only first_n lines the lines from the beginning of the file are read
skip_empty_lines	Should empty lines be skipped? If used in conjunction with trim_lines, also lines with only whitespace will be skipped. Skipped lines do not count towards the total number of read lines.

Exceptions

Exception::FileNotFound

is thrown if the file could not be opened.

operator<<()

TextFile& operator<< ( const StringType &  string )

inline

Operator for appending entries with less code.

store()

void store

(

const String &

filename

)

Writes the data to a file.

Note

This function uses platform-dependent line breaks

Exceptions

Exception::UnableToCreateFile

is thrown if the file could not be created

Referenced by RIntegration::checkRDependencies(), RNPxlSearch::main_(), MetaProSIPReporting::plotFilteredSpectra(), MetaProSIPReporting::plotHeatMap(), MetaProSIPReporting::plotScoresAndWeights(), and MetaProSIPReporting::writeHTML().

Member Data Documentation

buffer_

std::vector<String> buffer_
