eachlineV omits final line

[grahamas]

test.txt:

hello
my
name is
bob

test.jl:

using ViewReader

@info "eachlineV:"
for line in eachlineV("test.txt")
    @show line
end

@info "eachline:"
for line in eachline("test.txt")
    @show line
end

REPL:

julia> include("test.jl")

line = "hello"
line = "my"
line = "name is"
[ Info: eachline:

Hey @grahamas,

Not looking at Julia much lately so didn't notice the issue.
When I run your code (on the provided text file) it works fine for me.
I do have an older version of Julia, perhaps that is it - will check

[rickbeeloo]

I can't replicate this on Julia 1.10 either.

[ Info: eachlineV:
line = "hello"
line = "my"
line = "name is"
line = "bob"

[ Info: eachline:
line = "hello"
line = "my"
line = "name is"
line = "bob"

On my machine

@grahamas is that just this file? or is this a consistent problem? (Just thining whether it could be a file thing, like a hidden character)

[grahamas]

Hi @rickbeeloo, thanks for looking into this. The problem happened across multiple files (all files as far as I could tell, but I didn’t check diligently). I’ll poke around and see if I can find any exceptions on this or my other computer.

[rickbeeloo]

Hey @grahamas, could you send me your test.txt file to biobeeloo@gmail.com. Then we know if this is about the file or some system thing.

[grahamas]

Is it possible your test file had a trailing newline? If I put a trailing newline in, all the lines get parsed fine.

edit: then again that would also happen if the problem is something else entirely

edit2: which is to say, I sent it

[rickbeeloo]

It indeed is because there is no trailing newline.
The fix is quite easy, still return the slice of the buffer if there are non zero bytes after the last returned line.
Has been 9 months since I wrote a Julia script so gonna do my best :)
