How do you mean that ? That FileStreams close automatically ? That is indeed the case, that they are closed as a finalization action (i.e. when they become garbage), but that I consider that a fail safe thing, not something you should rely on. They should be properly closed, like #readStreamDo: and #writeStreamDo: do. Streams over collections such as Strings do not need closing, as there is no opening either. But general stream code better does. > -- > Jérémie Regnault >
