[ file->doWithClose ]

Method

The [file->doWithClose] method takes a block of code and executes it and it makes sure that the [file] object the method is called on closes the file. The file will be closed if there is an error as well as if the code block successfully runs.

  • Syntax
local(f) = file(...)
#f->doWithClose => {

}
Examples
