Sebb commented on IO-486: ------------------------- I've just discovered https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-453 The code that uses file.length() has already been removed in preparation for the 2.5 release. > FileUtils.readFileToString() can immediately return empty string if file > length is zero > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: IO-486 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-486 > Project: Commons IO > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Viktor Isaev > > If {{file.length() == 0}}, there is no point of doing extra work of opening > and closing an input stream - we can return an empty string right away. > Same applies for {{FileUtils.readFileToByteArray()}} and > {{FileUtils.readLines()}}. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
