Hi, I have a text file and want to read one line after another into a String. The lines will contain characters like "\n" etc. Any ideas?

hmmm file_str_readto seems to do what you want ! it even has a delimiter -> which you can set to '\n' !

Why not use txt_load(TEXT*,STRING* filename) and then iterate through the strings and fill thim into one string?

Write a DLL and use getline().

And I thought Lite Foundation would be the overkill, but your solution beats everything oO

STL vs. Lite-C
STL wins!

No, the shortest and easiest way to achieve your target wins. You solution is neither short nor easy.

But it has the best performance.

No, it doesn't. Mapping the DLL into the memory, calling the function etc. will cost much more than reading those few lines directly through Gamestudio.

I agree, the point that I want to write such a function is to avoid using DLLs which would be no problem but not pretty nice.

@Stromausfall: Problem is that one line might contain "\n" in between not only at the end.

@Germanunkol: I think your solution is the best even if it is not as beautiful as I wanted.
