Description
FileString is a class that wraps a path on the filesystem (a file) and provides an exact copy of the String API. This means you can code as if you had a String and your file on the disk gets manipulated just magically.
Quick Try
- Download from github and unpack (or clone)
- Change into the filestring’s lib directory: `cd some_dir/filestring/lib`
- Try in irb: `irb -rfilestring` You can create a FileString by doing e.g. `fs = FileString.new(’/some/path.txt’)`. Apply some mutating String methods like []=, upcase! or gsub! and watch the file on disk change.
Install
FileString is not currently a gem or prepared to be installed. You’ll have to manually copy it into site_ruby.
