Modern Fs TextReader ReadLine

Home › Filesystem › File Streams › TextReader.ReadLine

TextReader.ReadLine

Reads the next decoded line into a string; returns false at the end.

Syntax

TextReader.ReadLine( line )

Notes

• The next line, decoded, in a ustring. FALSE at the end.
• Lines are ReadAllLines' lines: a line ends at LF; one CR before the LF is dropped; a CR anywhere else is text; the last line needs no LF; a final LF is not followed by an empty line.

Examples

#import "std/fs"
using fs

dim as MemoryStream m = MemoryStream( "one" & chr( 13, 10 ) & "two" )
dim as TextReader tr = TextReader( m )
dim as ustring ln
tr.ReadLine( ln ) : print ln    '' one
tr.ReadLine( ln ) : print ln    '' two
print tr.ReadLine( ln ).Value( )    '' false
