Cleaning buffer of BufWriter<File>

help
1

I know abot the "flush" method, but when cleaning, I don't want to write the data

2

I believe you want the into_parts method of BufWriter.

3

not really, I just need to reset the buffer

4

You're putting things into your writer you don't want to write ?

5

I make a text file editor, the user can change his mind to write

6

Ah, you don't want to use the Write trait at all then.

Use a rope data structure instead.

Don't forget to learn about that data structure and adjacent data structures. Wikipedia is always a good start and follow the links.
