To create a new file using the os package in Golang, you can use the Create function from os module. Here is an example:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
)
func main() {
// Create a new file named "example.txt"
file, err := os.Create("example.txt")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
defer file.Close()
fmt.Println("File created successfully.")
}
In this example, the os.Create function is used to create a new file named "example.txt". If any error occurs during the file creation, it will be captured in the err variable.
Make sure to defer the Close method on the file object to ensure it gets closed after use. The file.Close() statement is executed just before the main function exits.
After successfully running the program, a new file named "example.txt" will be created in the current directory.
