FileIO - Minimal example

New to Julia

The following seems to work.

I have created a module Uff.jl:

module Uff

using FileIO

struct UFFReader
    io::IO
    ownstream::Bool
end

function Base.read( reader::UFFReader )
    # read and decode audio samples from reader.io
    readline(reader.io)
end

function Base.close(reader::UFFReader)
    # do whatever cleanup the reader needs
    reader.ownstream && close(reader.io)
end

Base.eof(reader::UFFReader) = eof( reader.io )

loadstreaming(f::File{format"UFF"}) = UFFReader(open(f.filename), true)
loadstreaming(s::Stream{format"UFF"}) = UFFReader(s, false)

end

Just for the record it seems to work when I do:

using FileIO
using Uff

add_format(format"UFF", (), [".uff",".unv"], [:Uff])

loadstreaming("example.unv") do io
   while !eof(io)
     print(read(io))
   end
end

So it is a matter of replacing readline(reader.io) for whatever parser needs to be used and replacing print(read(io)) for whatever processing we want to do in the future.

I will keep posting improvements as I learn them. (Just for the record)
