In Kotlin, how do I read the entire contents of an InputStream into a String?

Question

I recently saw code for reading entire contents of an InputStream into a String in Kotlin, such as:

// input is of type InputStream
val baos =         


        

Answer 1

An example that reads contents of an InputStream to a String

import java.io.File
import java.io.InputStream
import java.nio.charset.Charset

fun main(args: Array) {
    val file = File("input"+File.separator+"contents.txt")
    var ins:InputStream = file.inputStream()
    var content = ins.readBytes().toString(Charset.defaultCharset())
    println(content)
}
