what am I doing wrong?

val path = "/home/elect/IdeaProjects/scifio-lifesci/test.sdt".toPath()
println(HostFileSystem.exists(path))
println(HostFileSystem.source(path).buffer().buffer.size)

> true > 0 but test.sdt is not empty.. > -rw-rw-r-- 1 elect elect 4892652 ott 15 17:38 test.sdt I have my logic expecting a

Buffer

, that's what I understood is something I can "consume" (I need to read sequentially and sparse)

You need to read

HostFileSystem.source(path).buffer()

. The following will give you everything in memory

HostFileSystem.source(path).buffer().readUtf8()
HostFileSystem.source(path).buffer().readByteArray()

exploring right now with

BufferedSource

You can also read byte by byte:

HostFileSystem.source(path).buffer().apply {
  readByte()
  readByte()
}

porting to MP this

If you want a good video about okio, is pretty cool

thanks for that, I saw the three presentations suggested on the website, but this wasnt there!

Ah, might be worth adding it, it's pretty cool with animated marbles and all 🙂

yep

porting to MP this

Then

BufferedSource

is the perfect fit, it should have all the

readInt

,

readShort

, etc..

exactly
