Odi Methods

Method	Description
read(path)	Read file contents as string
write(path, data)	Write string to file (overwrites)
append(path, data)	Append to file
exists(path)	Check if file exists
delete(path)	Delete a file
list(dir)	List directory contents
mkdir(path)	Create directory

Reading Files

// Read entire file as string
ayanmo content = Odi.read("config.txt");
Irosu.fo(content);

// Read and process line by line
ayanmo content = Odi.read("data.txt");
ayanmo lines = Ika.split(content, "\n");

fun line ninu lines {
    Irosu.fo("Line: " + line);
}

Writing Files

// Write text to file (creates or overwrites)
Odi.write("output.txt", "Hello, Ifá!");

// Write multiple lines
ayanmo lines = ["Line 1", "Line 2", "Line 3"];
ayanmo content = Ika.join(lines, "\n");
Odi.write("multiline.txt", content);

// Append to existing file
Odi.append("log.txt", "New log entry\n");

Checking Files

// Check before reading
ti (Odi.exists("config.txt")) {
    ayanmo config = Odi.read("config.txt");
    Irosu.fo("Config loaded");
} bib?k? {
    Irosu.fo("Config file not found, using defaults");
}

Directory Operations

// Create directory
Odi.mkdir("output");

// List directory contents
ayanmo files = Odi.list(".");
fun file ninu files {
    Irosu.fo("Found: " + file);
}

// Delete file
ti (Odi.exists("temp.txt")) {
    Odi.delete("temp.txt");
}

Practical Example: Config File

// config.txt format:
// key=value
// key2=value2

ise load_config(path) {
    ayanmo config = {};
    
    ti (Odi.exists(path)) {
        ayanmo content = Odi.read(path);
        ayanmo lines = Ika.split(content, "\n");
        
        fun line ninu lines {
            ti (Ika.contains(line, "=")) {
                ayanmo parts = Ika.split(line, "=");
                ayanmo key = Ogunda.get(parts, 0);
                ayanmo value = Ogunda.get(parts, 1);
                // Store in config map
                Irosu.fo(key + " = " + value);
            }
        }
    }
    
    padap? config;
}

load_config("app.config");

Error Handling with Files

// Safe file reading
ise safe_read(path) {
    ti (!Odi.exists(path)) {
        Irosu.kigbe("File not found: " + path);
        padap? nil;
    }
    padap? Odi.read(path);
}

ayanmo data = safe_read("data.txt");
ti (data != nil) {
    Irosu.fo("Read " + Ika.len(data) + " characters");
}
