（代码现在适用于 Swift 2.2/Xcode 7.3。如果有人需要，可以在编辑历史记录中找到旧版本。最后提供了 Swift 3 的更新版本。）
以下 Swift 代码深受以下问题的各种答案的启发
How to read data from NSFileHandle line by line?。它以块的形式从文件中读取，并将完整的行转换为字符串。
默认行分隔符 (\n)、字符串编码 (UTF-8) 和块大小 (4096)
可以使用可选参数进行设置。
class StreamReader {
let encoding : UInt
let chunkSize : Int
var fileHandle : NSFileHandle!
let buffer : NSMutableData!
let delimData : NSData!
var atEof : Bool = false
init?(path: String, delimiter: String = "\n", encoding : UInt = NSUTF8StringEncoding, chunkSize : Int = 4096) {
self.chunkSize = chunkSize
self.encoding = encoding
if let fileHandle = NSFileHandle(forReadingAtPath: path),
delimData = delimiter.dataUsingEncoding(encoding),
buffer = NSMutableData(capacity: chunkSize)
{
self.fileHandle = fileHandle
self.delimData = delimData
self.buffer = buffer
} else {
self.fileHandle = nil
self.delimData = nil
self.buffer = nil
return nil
}
}
deinit {
self.close()
}
/// Return next line, or nil on EOF.
func nextLine() -> String? {
precondition(fileHandle != nil, "Attempt to read from closed file")
if atEof {
return nil
}
// Read data chunks from file until a line delimiter is found:
var range = buffer.rangeOfData(delimData, options: [], range: NSMakeRange(0, buffer.length))
while range.location == NSNotFound {
let tmpData = fileHandle.readDataOfLength(chunkSize)
if tmpData.length == 0 {
// EOF or read error.
atEof = true
if buffer.length > 0 {
// Buffer contains last line in file (not terminated by delimiter).
let line = NSString(data: buffer, encoding: encoding)
buffer.length = 0
return line as String?
}
// No more lines.
return nil
}
buffer.appendData(tmpData)
range = buffer.rangeOfData(delimData, options: [], range: NSMakeRange(0, buffer.length))
}
// Convert complete line (excluding the delimiter) to a string:
let line = NSString(data: buffer.subdataWithRange(NSMakeRange(0, range.location)),
encoding: encoding)
// Remove line (and the delimiter) from the buffer:
buffer.replaceBytesInRange(NSMakeRange(0, range.location + range.length), withBytes: nil, length: 0)
return line as String?
}
/// Start reading from the beginning of file.
func rewind() -> Void {
fileHandle.seekToFileOffset(0)
buffer.length = 0
atEof = false
}
/// Close the underlying file. No reading must be done after calling this method.
func close() -> Void {
fileHandle?.closeFile()
fileHandle = nil
}
}
用法：
if let aStreamReader = StreamReader(path: "/path/to/file") {
defer {
aStreamReader.close()
}
while let line = aStreamReader.nextLine() {
print(line)
}
}
您甚至可以将阅读器与 for-in 循环一起使用
for line in aStreamReader {
print(line)
}
通过实现SequenceType 协议（比较http://robots.thoughtbot.com/swift-sequences）：
extension StreamReader : SequenceType {
func generate() -> AnyGenerator<String> {
return AnyGenerator {
return self.nextLine()
}
}
}
Swift 3/Xcode 8 beta 6 的更新：也“现代化”到
使用guard 和新的Data 值类型：
class StreamReader {
let encoding : String.Encoding
let chunkSize : Int
var fileHandle : FileHandle!
let delimData : Data
var buffer : Data
var atEof : Bool
init?(path: String, delimiter: String = "\n", encoding: String.Encoding = .utf8,
chunkSize: Int = 4096) {
guard let fileHandle = FileHandle(forReadingAtPath: path),
let delimData = delimiter.data(using: encoding) else {
return nil
}
self.encoding = encoding
self.chunkSize = chunkSize
self.fileHandle = fileHandle
self.delimData = delimData
self.buffer = Data(capacity: chunkSize)
self.atEof = false
}
deinit {
self.close()
}
/// Return next line, or nil on EOF.
func nextLine() -> String? {
precondition(fileHandle != nil, "Attempt to read from closed file")
// Read data chunks from file until a line delimiter is found:
while !atEof {
if let range = buffer.range(of: delimData) {
// Convert complete line (excluding the delimiter) to a string:
let line = String(data: buffer.subdata(in: 0..<range.lowerBound), encoding: encoding)
// Remove line (and the delimiter) from the buffer:
buffer.removeSubrange(0..<range.upperBound)
return line
}
let tmpData = fileHandle.readData(ofLength: chunkSize)
if tmpData.count > 0 {
buffer.append(tmpData)
} else {
// EOF or read error.
atEof = true
if buffer.count > 0 {
// Buffer contains last line in file (not terminated by delimiter).
let line = String(data: buffer as Data, encoding: encoding)
buffer.count = 0
return line
}
}
}
return nil
}
/// Start reading from the beginning of file.
func rewind() -> Void {
fileHandle.seek(toFileOffset: 0)
buffer.count = 0
atEof = false
}
/// Close the underlying file. No reading must be done after calling this method.
func close() -> Void {
fileHandle?.closeFile()
fileHandle = nil
}
}
extension StreamReader : Sequence {
func makeIterator() -> AnyIterator<String> {
return AnyIterator {
return self.nextLine()
}
}
}
