BufReader Repeat first line

[worik]

Using std::io::BufReader::read_line(&mut String) to process a file a line at a time and the first line is read twice.

use std::fs::File;
use std::io::BufRead;
use std::io::BufReader;
fn main() -> std::io::Result<()>{
    let file_name = "/tmp/saved";
    let file = File::open(file_name)?;
    let mut buf_reader = BufReader::new(file);
    let mut line:String = String::new();
    while buf_reader.read_line(&mut line)? != 0 {
        print!("{}", line);
    }
    Ok(())
}

/tmp/saved has as content:

first
second

The output is:

first
first
second

It is actually read once, but printed twice.

From https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/trait.BufRead.html#method.read_line, emphasis mine:

Read all bytes until a newline (the 0xA byte) is reached, and append them to the provided buffer.

So after the second line is read your line is the whole contents of the file.

Very helpful, thank you.
std::io::Lines was what I should have used

use std::fs::File;
use std::io::BufRead;
use std::io::BufReader;
fn main() -> std::io::Result<()>{
    let file_name = "/tmp/saved";
    let file = File::open(file_name)?;
    let  buf_reader = BufReader::new(file);
    let  lines = buf_reader.lines();
    for line in lines  {
        println!("{}", line.unwrap());
    }
    Ok(())
}
