Readline

[lazi]

The documentation says that ReadLine stops at a linefeed or at the end of the file.
Tried it on a file which has a $0D for linefeed but that does not stopped ReadLine. (OS4)

The file content starts like this:


Here is the script:

Code: Select all

OpenFile(1,"ram:pdf.pdf")
a=ReadLine(1)
DebugPrint(HexStr( StrLen(a)))
DebugPrint(a)
CloseFile(1)    

And the result:

Code: Select all

10.RAM Disk:> hollywood Unnamed.hws 
$D3
%PDF-1.31 0 obj<</Type /XObject /Subtype /Image /Name /Im1 /Width 1654 /Height 2338 /Length 174931/ColorSpace /DeviceRGB /BitsPerComponent 8 /Filter [ /DCTDecode ] >> streamÿØÿà

That's not a bug because $0D is not a linefeed but a carriage return. See here:

ReadLine() just ignores all CR characters because usually there is a CRLF (Windows format) or just a LF. Using just a CR for a newline is pretty exotic. I think this was used on the C64 and old Apple systems. Maybe that's why PDFs still have this...
