ReadLine(file)

Parameters

file

-

file descriptor or filename

Description

• 

The ReadLine(file) command reads a string containing all the characters from the current file position to the first newline character or the end of file.  The characters are returned as a string.

• 

If the current file position is the end of the file, a call to ReadLine returns NULL, but ReadLine does not automatically close file. This behavior is different from readline.
