new to rust, I'm asking this to hopefully understand how to work with the language better..
Heres me trying to read a file, pass the file handle to a different function and print the lines from there:
use std::fs::File;
use std::io::{self, BufReader};
use std::io::BufRead;
use async_std::task;
async fn scrape<R: BufRead>(reader: &mut R) {
reader.lines().for_each(|line| println!(line));
}
fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
let file = File::open("wlist.txt")?;
let reader = BufReader::new(file);
// print_type_of(&reader); // prints std::io::buffered::BufReader<std::fs::File>
task::block_on(scrape(&mut reader));
Ok(())
}
// helper functions
fn print_type_of<T>(_: &T) {
println!("{}", std::any::type_name::<T>())
}
Would love some insights regarding what concepts i'm missing and how this should be done properly !

This version atleast compiles, but there's no async in the playground so I coudn't add async.
You have to catch errors in scrape by using try_for_each function, inside you parse io::Result<String> via and_then. In your main you have to catch all errors explicitly, not allowed to let io::Error slip through ? operator
use std::fs::File;
use std::io::{self, BufReader};
use std::io::BufRead;
//use async_std::task;
fn scrape<R: BufRead>(reader: &mut R) -> io::Result<()> {
reader.lines()
.try_for_each(|lineResult| lineResult.and_then(|line| Ok(println!("{}", line))))?;
Ok(())
}
fn main() {
//let fileResult = File::open("wlist.txt");
//let mut file;
//match fileResult {
// Ok(f) => file = f,
// Err(e) => println!("File open error! {}", e),
//}
let mut file = b"hello\nworld\nhow\nare\nyou\ndoing" as &[u8]; // no file in playground, so just a buffer
let mut reader = BufReader::new(file);
// print_type_of(&reader); // prints std::io::buffered::BufReader<std::fs::File>
match scrape(&mut reader) {
Ok(_) => println!("Scraping is done!"),
Err(e) => println!("File read error! {}", e),
}
}
// helper functions
fn print_type_of<T>(_: &T) {
println!("{}", std::any::type_name::<T>())
}

How to do proper error handling inside a map function? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How does the Iterator::collect function work?
(2 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
i want to read a textfile and convert all lines into int values.
I use this code.
But what i really miss here is a "good" way of error handling.
use std::{
fs::File,
io::{prelude::*, BufReader},
path::Path
};
fn lines_from_file(filename: impl AsRef<Path>) -> Vec<i32> {
let file = File::open(filename).expect("no such file");
let buf = BufReader::new(file);
buf.lines()
.map(|l| l.expect("Could not parse line"))
.map(|l:String| l.parse::<i32>().expect("could not parse int"))
.collect()
}
Question: How to do proper error handling ?
Is this above example "good rust code" ?
or should i use something like this :
fn lines_from_file(filename: impl AsRef<Path>) -> Vec<i32> {
let file = File::open(filename).expect("no such file");
let buf = BufReader::new(file);
buf.lines()
.map(|l| l.expect("Could not parse line"))
.map(|l:String| match l.parse::<i32>() {
Ok(num) => num,
Err(e) => -1 //Do something here
}).collect()
}
You can actually collect into a Result<T, E>.
See docs
So you could collect into a Result<Vec<i32>, MyCustomErrorType>.
This works when you transform your iterator in an iterator which returns a Result<i32, MyCustomErrorType>. The iteration stops at the first Err you map.
Here's your working code example.
I used the thiserror crate for error handling
use std::{
fs::File,
io::{prelude::*, BufReader},
num::ParseIntError,
path::Path,
};
use thiserror::Error;
#[derive(Error, Debug)]
pub enum LineParseError {
#[error("Failed to read line")]
IoError(#[from] std::io::Error),
#[error("Failed to parse int")]
FailedToParseInt(#[from] ParseIntError),
}
fn lines_from_file(filename: impl AsRef<Path>) -> Result<Vec<i32>, LineParseError> {
let file = File::open(filename).expect("no such file");
let buf = BufReader::new(file);
buf.lines().map(|l| Ok(l?.parse()?)).collect()
}
Some small explanation of how the code works by breaking down this line of code:
buf.lines().map(|l| Ok(l?.parse()?)).collect()
Rust infers that we need to collect to a Result<Vec<i32>, LineParseError> because the return type of the function is Result<Vec<i32>, LineParseError>
In the mapping method we write l? this makes the map method return an Err if the l result contains an Err, the #[from] attribute on LineParseError::IoError takes care of the conversion
The .parse()? works the same way: #[from] on LineParseError::FailedToParseInt takes care of the conversion
Last but not least our method must return Ok(...) when the mapping does succeed, this makes the collect into a Result<Vec<i32>, LineParseError> possible.

How to convert a Bytes Iterator into a Stream in Rust

I'm trying to figure out build a feature which requires reading the contents of a file into a futures::stream::BoxStream but I'm having a tough time figuring out what I need to do.
I have figured out how to read a file byte by byte via Bytes which implements an iterator.
use std::fs::File;
use std::io::prelude::*;
use std::io::{BufReader, Bytes};
// TODO: Convert this to a async Stream
fn async_read() -> Box<dyn Iterator<Item = Result<u8, std::io::Error>>> {
let f = File::open("/dev/random").expect("Could not open file");
let reader = BufReader::new(f);
let iter = reader.bytes().into_iter();
Box::new(iter)
}
fn main() {
ctrlc::set_handler(move || {
println!("received Ctrl+C!");
std::process::exit(0);
})
.expect("Error setting Ctrl-C handler");
for b in async_read().into_iter() {
println!("{:?}", b);
}
}
However, I've been struggling a bunch trying to figure out how I can turn this Box<dyn Iterator<Item = Result<u8, std::io::Error>>> into an Stream.
I would have thought something like this would work:
use futures::stream;
use std::fs::File;
use std::io::prelude::*;
use std::io::{BufReader, Bytes};
// TODO: Convert this to a async Stream
fn async_read() -> stream::BoxStream<'static, dyn Iterator<Item = Result<u8, std::io::Error>>> {
let f = File::open("/dev/random").expect("Could not open file");
let reader = BufReader::new(f);
let iter = reader.bytes().into_iter();
std::pin::Pin::new(Box::new(stream::iter(iter)))
}
fn main() {
ctrlc::set_handler(move || {
println!("received Ctrl+C!");
std::process::exit(0);
})
.expect("Error setting Ctrl-C handler");
while let Some(b) = async_read().poll() {
println!("{:?}", b);
}
}
But I keep getting a ton of compiler errors, I've tried other permutations but generally getting no where.
One of the compiler errors:
std::pin::Pin::new
``` --> src/main.rs:14:24
|
14 | std::pin::Pin::new(Box::new(stream::iter(iter)))
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected trait object `dyn std::iter::Iterator`, found enum `std::result::Result`
Anyone have any advice?
I'm pretty new to Rust, and specifically Streams/lower level stuff so I apologize if I got anything wrong, feel free to correct me.
For some additional background, I'm trying to do this so you can CTRL-C out of a command in nushell
I think you are overcomplicating it a bit, you can just return impl Stream from async_read, there is no need to box or pin (same goes for the original Iterator-based version). Then you need to set up an async runtime in order to poll the stream (in this example I just use the runtime provided by futures::executor::block_on). Then you can call futures::stream::StreamExt::next() on the stream to get a future representing the next item.
Here is one way to do this:
use futures::prelude::*;
use std::{
fs::File,
io::{prelude::*, BufReader},
};
fn async_read() -> impl Stream<Item = Result<u8, std::io::Error>> {
let f = File::open("/dev/random").expect("Could not open file");
let reader = BufReader::new(f);
stream::iter(reader.bytes())
}
async fn async_main() {
while let Some(b) = async_read().next().await {
println!("{:?}", b);
}
}
fn main() {
ctrlc::set_handler(move || {
println!("received Ctrl+C!");
std::process::exit(0);
})
.expect("Error setting Ctrl-C handler");
futures::executor::block_on(async_main());
}

How to do simple math with a list of numbers from a file and print out the result in Rust?

use std::fs::File;
use std::io::prelude::*;
use std::io::BufReader;
use std::iter::Iterator;
fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
let file = File::open("input")?; // file is input
let mut buf_reader = BufReader::new(file);
let mut contents = String::new();
buf_reader.read_to_string(&mut contents)?;
for i in contents.parse::<i32>() {
let i = i / 2;
println!("{}", i);
}
Ok(())
}
list of numbers:
50951
69212
119076
124303
95335
65069
109778
113786

str::parse::<i32> can only parse a single number at a time, so you will need to split the text first and then parse each number one by one. For example if you have one number per line and no extra whitespace, you can use BufRead::lines to process the text line by line:
use std::fs::File;
use std::io::{BufRead, BufReader};
fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
let file = File::open("input")?; // file is input
let mut buf_reader = BufReader::new(file);
for line in buf_reader.lines() {
let value = line?
.parse::<i32>()
.expect("Not able to parse: Content is malformed !");
println!("{}", value / 2);
}
Ok(())
}
As an extra bonus this avoids reading the whole file into memory, which can be important if the file is big.
For tiny examples like this, I'd read the entire string at once, then split it up on lines.
use std::fs;
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let contents = fs::read_to_string("input")?;
for line in contents.trim().lines() {
let i: i32 = line.trim().parse()?;
let i = i / 2;
println!("{}", i);
}
Ok(())
}

What's the de-facto way of reading and writing files in Rust 1.x?
For tightly-controlled examples like this, I'd ignore errors occurring while parsing:
use std::fs;
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let contents = fs::read_to_string("input")?;
for i in contents.trim().lines().flat_map(|l| l.trim().parse::<i32>()) {
let i = i / 2;
println!("{}", i);
}
Ok(())
}
See also:
Why does `Option` support `IntoIterator`?
For fixed-input examples like this, I'd avoid opening the file at runtime at all, pushing the error to compile-time:
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let contents = include_str!("../input");
for i in contents.trim().lines().flat_map(|l| l.trim().parse::<i32>()) {
let i = i / 2;
println!("{}", i);
}
Ok(())
}

Is there a good way to include external resource data into Rust source code?
If I wanted to handle failures to parse but treat the iterator as if errors were impossible, I'd use Itertools::process_results:
use itertools; // 0.8.2
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let contents = include_str!("../input");
let numbers = contents.trim().lines().map(|l| l.trim().parse::<i32>());
let sum = itertools::process_results(numbers, |i| i.sum::<i32>());
println!("{:?}", sum);
Ok(())
}

How can I pass a socket as an argument to a function being called within a thread?

I'm going to have multiple functions that all need access to one main socket.
Would it better to:
Pass this socket to each function that needs access to it
Have a globally accessible socket
Can someone provide an example of the best way to do this?
I come from a Python/Nim background where things like this are easily done.
Edit:
How can I pass a socket as an arg to a function being called within a thread.
Ex.
fn main() {
let mut s = BufferedStream::new((TcpStream::connect(server).unwrap()));
let thread = Thread::spawn(move || {
func1(s, arg1, arg2);
});
while true {
func2(s, arg1);
}
}
Answer for updated question
We can use TcpStream::try_clone:
use std::io::Read;
use std::net::{TcpStream, Shutdown};
use std::thread;
fn main() {
let mut stream = TcpStream::connect("127.0.0.1:34254").unwrap();
let stream2 = stream.try_clone().unwrap();
let _t = thread::spawn(move || {
// close this stream after one second
thread::sleep_ms(1000);
stream2.shutdown(Shutdown::Read).unwrap();
});
// wait for some data, will get canceled after one second
let mut buf = [0];
stream.read(&mut buf).unwrap();
}
Original answer
It's usually (let's say 99.9% of the time) a bad idea to have any global mutable state, if you can help it. Just do as you said: pass the socket to the functions that need it.
use std::io::{self, Write};
use std::net::TcpStream;
fn send_name(stream: &mut TcpStream) -> io::Result<()> {
stream.write(&[42])?;
Ok(())
}
fn send_number(stream: &mut TcpStream) -> io::Result<()> {
stream.write(&[1, 2, 3])?;
Ok(())
}
fn main() {
let mut stream = TcpStream::connect("127.0.0.1:31337").unwrap();
let r = send_name(&mut stream).and_then(|_| send_number(&mut stream));
match r {
Ok(..) => println!("Yay, sent!"),
Err(e) => println!("Boom! {}", e),
}
}
You could also pass the TcpStream to a struct that manages it, and thus gives you a place to put similar methods.
use std::io::{self, Write};
use std::net::TcpStream;
struct GameService {
stream: TcpStream,
}
impl GameService {
fn send_name(&mut self) -> io::Result<()> {
self.stream.write(&[42])?;
Ok(())
}
fn send_number(&mut self) -> io::Result<()> {
self.stream.write(&[1, 2, 3])?;
Ok(())
}
}
fn main() {
let stream = TcpStream::connect("127.0.0.1:31337").unwrap();
let mut service = GameService { stream: stream };
let r = service.send_name().and_then(|_| service.send_number());
match r {
Ok(..) => println!("Yay, sent!"),
Err(e) => println!("Boom! {}", e),
}
}
None of this is really Rust-specific, these are generally-applicable programming practices.
