csak-textfile

What is csak-textfile?

Its a pure simple javascript text file reader/writer for nodejs (utf8, utf16, etc), but also it works with ansi (example: iso8859-2, etc).

Why need set the codepage?

If the file what you want read it is ANSI, then need convert local codepage characters to Javascript string(utf8)

Install

npm install csak-textfile --save

Examples

The deafult codepage is 28592 (= ISO-8859-2 ), but you can modify it.

Want antoher codepage?

See supported codepage list

Read file (automatic detect utf8 vs ansi)

var TextFile = require('csak-textfile');
///file is utf8 or ansi
var str = TextFile.readFileSyncStr(<filename>);
...
var TextFile = require('csak-textfile').codepage(<codepage>);
///file is utf8 or ansi
var str = TextFile.readFileSyncStr(<filename>);
...
var TextFile = require('csak-textfile');
TextFile.codepage(<codepage>)
///file is utf8 or ansi
var str = TextFile.readFileSyncStr(<filename>);
...
var TextFile = require('csak-textfile');
///file is utf8 or ansi
var str = TextFile.readFileSyncStr(<filename> ,<codepage>);

Write file (ansi)

///use default codepage
TextFile.writeFileSyncStr(<filename>, str);
...
///use special codepage
TextFile.writeFileSyncStr(<filename>, str, <codepage>);

Write file (utf8)

Use nodejs fs module!

var fs = require('fs');
fs.writeFileSync(<filename>, <str>, 'utf-8');
