Submitted by Nidhi, on October 30, 2021

Problem Solution:

In this program, we will open an existing file and read text from the file using the read_to_string() method, and print text data.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to read text from a file is given below. The given program is compiled and executed on UBUNTU 18.04 successfully.

// Rust program to read text from a file.

use std::io::Read;

fn main(){
   let mut fileRef = std::fs::File::open("sample.txt").unwrap();
   let mut data = String::new();
   
   fileRef.read_to_string(&mut data).unwrap();
   
   print!("FILE DATA:\n{}", data);
}

Output:

$ rustc main.rs

$ ./main
File Data:
Hello World
Hello India

Explanation:

Here, we opened an existing file "sample.txt" using File::open() function. Then we read text data from the file using the read_to_string() method and printed file data.
