Why is it that readstring command loading a regular file from note pad loads the entire file in 1 read forcing me to process it manually.

I dug in farther to find readstring and writestring uses chr(0) for end of line.

This should be using chr(13)+chr(10) to close a line.

Can this be fixed? If not it takes a very long time to process a whole file loaded in one string pass

Have you tried Readline() ??

https://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/Reference/File/ReadLine.htm


Even the description of ReadString States:
"Reads a null terminated string from the given file, which must have been opened for reading. Note that this can only read strings in binary form such as those written using WriteString, if you are trying to read strings separated by new lines then use ReadLine instead. "

Yup.

Bengisimo pretty much covered it, but I admit it can be slightly confusing to start with.
