scala get file from url as string
To get a file from a URL as a string in Scala, you can use the scala.io.Source
class along with the fromURL
method. Here's an example code snippet:
import scala.io.Source
val url = "https://example.com/file.txt"
val fileAsString = Source.fromURL(url).mkString
println(fileAsString)
In this code, we first import the scala.io.Source
class. Then, we define the URL of the file you want to retrieve as a string. Finally, we use the fromURL
method of the Source
class to read the contents of the file as a string. The mkString
method is used to convert the contents into a single string.
Please note that this code snippet assumes that the URL points to a text file. If the file is in a different format, you may need to use different methods to read its contents.
I hope this helps!
