$file.readReads a text file |

Syntax | |
|
|
Description | |
Reads at most <size> bytes of the file pointed by <filename>. <size> is an upper limit but may be not reached if the real file is smaller. The data read is returned as a string , so if the file contains binary data, expect strange results. If <size> is not specified, then KVIrc tries to read the whole file up to the 1 MB limit (so if you want to read a file that is bigger thatn 1 MB then you MUST specify the <size>). WARNING: always check the file size before attemting to read a whole file... reading a CDROM iso image may sit down your system :) (and will prolly crash while allocating memory , before attempting to read anything) An empty string is returned if a serious error occures. The <filename> is adjusted according to the system that KVIrc is running on. |
