Currently my console output is formatted like [{a} {b} {c} {d}]
.
I'm looking to write this output to a file in place of fmt.Println(a)
, but every time I am met with an error such as:
cannot use a (type []Group) as type []byte in argument to ioutil.WriteFile' or similar
cannot use a (`type []Group`) as type `io.Writer` in argument to `fmt.Fprint`:
[]Group does not implement io.Writer (missing Write method)).
Do I need to convert []group
to another type? I have tried json.Marshall(group)
but that ended up the same.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"net/http"
"io/ioutil"
"encoding/xml"
)
type Bedework struct {
XMLName xml.Name `xml:"bedework"`
Groups []Group `xml:"groups>group"`
}
type Group struct {
Name string `xml:"name"`
}
func main() {
response, err := http.Get("http://localhost:3000/cal/?noxslt=yes")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error opening file:", err)
return
} else {
defer response.Body.Close()
contents, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(response.Body)
var b Bedework
var g []Group
xml.Unmarshal(contents, &b)
for _, group := range b.Groups {
g = append(g, group)
}
fmt.Println(g)
}
}
