This question already has an answer here:
I'm new to Go, so I apologise if this has already been answered, I'm trying to append a byte slice in Go and I am not having any luck finding a solution. I need to split off the first line of the file, which I've done; And write the rest into a byte slice to be parsed after the fact. So far the code looks like this:
// Here we extract the first line to name our title and category
var title, category string
var content []byte
in, err := os.Open(file)
utils.CheckErr(err, "could not open file: "+file)
defer in.Close()
// open file
scanner := bufio.NewScanner(in)
lineCount := 1
for scanner.Scan() {
if lineCount == 1 {
// assign title and category
splitString := strings.Split(scanner.Text(), "::")
title = splitString[0]
category = splitString[1]
fmt.Println("title: " + title + "category" + category) // usage to prevent compiler whine
} else {
// push the rest into an array to be parsed as jade
line := scanner.Bytes()
content = append(content, line) // The question is what goes here?
}
lineCount++
}
I've tried using append but that only gives me the error that cannot use line (type []byte) as type byte in append
