I want to ReadBytes until " " for a text file, not a bufio.
Is there a way to do this without converting to a bufio?

There are many ways to do it, but wrapping with bufio
is what I would suggest. But if that doesn't work for you (why not?), you can go ahead and read single bytes like this:
Full working example:
package main
import (
"bytes"
"fmt"
"io"
)
// ReadLine reads a line delimited by
from the io.Reader
// Unlike bufio, it does so rather inefficiently by reading one byte at a time
func ReadLine(r io.Reader) (line []byte, err error) {
b := make([]byte, 1)
var l int
for err == nil {
l, err = r.Read(b)
if l > 0 {
if b[0] == '
' {
return
}
line = append(line, b...)
}
}
return
}
var data = `Hello, world!
I will write
three lines.`
func main() {
b := bytes.NewBufferString(data)
for {
line, err := ReadLine(b)
fmt.Println("Line: ", string(line))
if err != nil {
return
}
}
}
Output:
Line: Hello, world!
Line: I will write
Line: three lines.
