Class 📄
The 📄 class allows you to read and write to files.
It provides several class methods which are shortcuts to reading and writing. They operate always on the whole file and reading can be very inefficient using these shortcuts when working with big files, because they will read the whole file into memory.
You must close files openend with 📝 and 📜 appropriately with 🙅 when they are no longer needed.
