There are some text files which needed to be manipulated line by line. I wrote a withFile
function as below:
let withFile fn handle =
let rec iter_lines fh =
try
handle (input_line fh);
iter_lines fh
with _ -> close_in fh in
iter_lines (open_in fn);;
So i can manipulate each file as :
withFile "file1.txt" (fun line -> (*...*))
withFile "file2.txt" (fun line -> (*...*))
...
But i amnot sure how to exit elehantly when i donot want to handle all lines. For example:
withFile "file3.txt" (fun line ->
(*when the line meets some condition, i will exit without handling other lines*)
);
Any suggestion is appreciated !
