move a csv file in go

Moving a file in Go involves two steps:

  1. Copying the original file to the new location
  2. Removing the original file

Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to move a CSV file in Go:

main.go
package main

import (
	"encoding/csv"
	"fmt"
	"io"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	// Open the source file for reading
	srcFile, err := os.Open("source_file.csv")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer srcFile.Close()

	// Create the destination file for writing
	destFile, err := os.Create("destination_file.csv")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer destFile.Close()

	// Copy the contents of the source file to the destination file
	_, err = io.Copy(destFile, srcFile)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// Remove the original source file
	err = os.Remove("source_file.csv")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Println("CSV file successfully moved!")
}

In this example, we first open the source file for reading and create the destination file for writing. We then use the io.Copy function to copy the contents of the source file to the destination file. Finally, we remove the original source file using the os.Remove function.
