read-lines
Read big files, line by line.
npm install read-lines
##Usage
The module emits the first line and then stops until you call thenext()
callback, in this way you can make async stuff with your line
and call next()
when your are done.
var ReadLines = require('read-lines');
var file = new ReadLines('/path/to/my/file');
file.on('open', function() {
//call read for start reading the first line
file.read();
});
file.on('line', function(line, next) {
console.log(line);
//You call next to get the next line
next();
});
file.on('error', function(err) {
// handle here the errors
});
