Hi All,
Yes, I know there are other ways to read a file. I
have a specific reason for using `read`.
How do I properly turn a Buf into a Str (all the bytes will
have been tested to make sure they are printable first)?
$ p6 'my $fh=open "/home/linuxutil/WhoIsMySub.pl6", :r; my Buf $f =
$fh.read(200); $fh.close; say "<" ~ $f.Stringy ~ ">";'
Cannot use a Buf as a string, but you called the Stringy method on it
in block <unit> at -e line 1
This isn't working either
$ p6 'my $fh=open "/home/linuxutil/WhoIsMySub.pl6", :r; my Buf $f =
$fh.read(200); $fh.close; say "<" ~ @$f ~ ">";'
