Finally change permissions of the destination directory to 777 (chmod), in success case.

Example

iex > Krug.FileUtil.copy_dir(from_dir,to_dir)
true (or false if fail)

copy_file(from_file, to_file, ignore_if_exists \\ true)

View Source

Copy a file to another file.

Return false if a destination file already exists and the parameter ignore_if_exists don't was received as true.

Finally change permissions of the destination file to 777 (chmod), in success case.

Examples

iex > Krug.FileUtil.copy_file(from_file,to_file)
true (or false if fail)
iex > Krug.FileUtil.copy_file(from_file,to_file,true)
true (or false if fail)

Creates a new directory with name specified.

If already exists a directory with this name, only preserve these directory.

If exists a file with this name try delete the file before create a new directory. Return false if this file cannot be deleted.

Finally change permissions of these dir to 777 (chmod), in success case.

Example

iex > Krug.FileUtil.create_dir(path)
true (or false if fail)

drop_dir(path, ignore_if_dont_exists \\ false)

View Source

Delete a directory with specified name.

Return false if the directory don't exists and parameter ignore_if_dont_exists is false/don't received.

If the name is a file and not a diectory, return false.

Examples

true (or false if fail)
iex > Krug.FileUtil.drop_dir(path,true)
true (or false if fail)
Link to this function

drop_file(path, ignore_if_dont_exists \\ false)

View Source

Delete a file.

Return false if the file don't exists and the parameter ignore_if_dont_exists don't was received as true.

If file is a directory, return false.

Examples

true (or false if fail)
iex > Krug.FileUtil.drop_file(path,true)
true (or false if fail)

Read a content of a file.

Return nil file is a directory, or don't exists, or the operation failed on open/read the file.

Example

iex > Krug.FileUtil.read_file(path)
file content (or nil)

remove(path, insertion_points)

View Source

Remove the content of a file if that is located between insertion_points[0] and insertion_points[1]. The insertion_points are removed too.

Fail if the file don't exists, is a directory, operation fail, or the insertion_points[0] or insertion_points[1] don't exists in file.

["sql","txt","html","xml","webmanifest","ts","js","ex","exs","sh","json","ret",
   "pdf","ppt","pptx","doc","docx","xls","xlsx","php","erl","gif","jpeg","jpg","png","bmp"]

will fail for other file extensions.

Example

iex > Krug.FileUtil.remove(path,["markerBegin","markerEnd"])
true (or false if fail)

replace_in_file(path, search_by, replace_to)

View Source

Replaces all ocurrences of a search_by parameter value by replace_to parameter value in the file.

write(path, content, insertion_points \\ [], insertion_point_tag \\ nil)

View Source

Write a content in a file, if the file exists and is a file (not directory).

If the parameter insertion_points and parameter insertion_point_tag are received, the content original is preserved and content received is inserted before of insertion_point_tag and beetwen insertion_points[0] and insertion_points[1]. (insertion_points are write in this moment, and could be used to remove this content later).

If insertion_point_tag is received and don't exists in file, return false.

true (or false if fail)
