How to change read only file to read write in Windows in Golang 1.20
0In this video we are going to generate source code for the GoLang Program, How to change read only file to read write in Windows using chatGPT.
After generating we will verify and run the generated code.
IMPORTANT NOTE on SOURCE CODE: only source code that are acceptable by the youtube description box will be displayed.
##############SOURCE CODE#########################
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
)
func main() {
file := "D:\\GoExamples\\example.txt"
err := os.Chmod(file, 0666) // 0666 = read and write permissions for owner, group, and others
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error changing file permissions:", err)
} else {
fmt.Println("File permissions changed to read and write.")
}
}
Below is the explanation for the program:
In this program, the os.Chmod() function is used to change the permissions of the file located at "C:\\path\\to\\readonlyfile.txt".
The 0666 value is a bitmask representing the permissions to be set for the file. The 0 at the beginning means that the value is in octal notation, and the 6 represents read and write permissions.
The os.Chmod() function returns an error if there was a problem changing the file permissions. Otherwise, the program prints a message indicating that the file permissions were successfully changed.
