Get the file content in the form of a String after applying a transformation to the original data.
Get the file content in the form of a String after applying a transformation to the original data. This is especially useful when the data is base64 encoded or gzipped or something. For instance, if data was base64 encoded, then gzipped, we can do the following:
import java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64InputStream val content = getString(is => new Base64InputStream(new GZIPInputStream(is)))
Provides a means of decode the file contents.
If the content DOES NOT exists on the local disk, copy to local disk and return the file descriptor wrapped in a Vfs.
