MoneyWorks Manual
File_ReadLine (filehandle)
Result Type: string
Definition: Reads and returns a string containing one line of the file from the current mark up to the next \n, \r or \r\n. The string contains the line ending character, but if the line ending is \r\n the trailing \n is excluded and you will only get the \r.
At the end of the file, the return value will be an empty string (an empty line in the file would return with the newline)
Example:
let fd = File_Open("a file in the MoneyWorks Automation dir.txt")
if fd <> NULL
while true
let line = File_ReadLine(fd)
if line == ""
break
endif
syslog(line)
endwhile
File_Close(fd)
endif
Limits: Maximum line length is 4K. If you need to read lines of arbitrary length, use File_Read.
Availability: available within MWScript handlers.
