[SOLVED] Reading a file

[FFSO]

I understand how to write to a file and how to create files but the problem is how to read a file.

Code: [Select]

function serverCmdReadLog(%client)
{
%file.openForAppend("config/server/IPLogger/logs.log");
        %file.readLine();
$Contents = %file.readLine();
messageClient(%client,'',$Contents);
}
It doesn't look right and it has no syntax errors. Possibly I am doing it wrong? If so, please help.

openForAppend is for writing, use openForRead
Also, that will only message the client the first line. If you want to message them all lines, do this:

Code: [Select]

while(!%file.isEoF())
{
    messageClient(%client,'','%file.readLine());
}You should also close and delete the objects

Code: [Select]

%file.close();
%file.delete();

Ok so...

Code: [Select]

function serverCmdReadLog(%client)
{
%file.openForRead("config/server/IPLogger/logs.log");
        %file.readLine();
while(!%file.isEoF())
{
messageClient(%client,'',%file.readLine());
}
%file.close();
%file.delete();
}

EDIT: your code HeadCrab Zombie had an unnecessary ' on line 3 causing a syntax error

Get rid of the first %file.readLine();

EDIT: your code HeadCrab Zombie had an unnecessary ' on line 3 causing a syntax error

My code is lines 5-10. Line 3 is your own code, and I don't see anything wrong with it.

messageClient(%client,'','%file.readLine());

Current:

Code: [Select]

function serverCmdReadLog(%client)
{
%file.openForRead("config/server/IPLogger/logs.log");
while(!%file.isEoF())
{
messageClient(%client,'',%file.readLine());
}
%file.close();
%file.delete();
}

Oh, I was looking at the complete function you recently posted

That should work unless I overlooked something else

EDIT: Doesn't work console cant identify 'isEoF' and it re says the error over and over and crashes the game :|

added %file = new FileObject();

Current:

Code: [Select]

function serverCmdReadLog(%client)
{
%file = new FileObject();
%file.openForRead("config/server/IPLogger/logs.log");
while(!%file.isEoF())
{
messageClient(%client,'',%file.readLine());
}
%file.close();
%file.delete();
}

Code: [Select]

function serverCmdReadLog(%client)
{
if(!isFile("config/server/IPLogger/logs.log"))
{
messageClient(%client, '', "\c6Log file does not exist or wrong file specified.");
return 0;
}
%file = new FileObject();
%file.openForRead("config/server/IPLogger/logs.log");
while(!%file.isEOF())
{
%line = %file.readLine();
messageClient(%client, '', %line);
}
%file.close();
%file.delete();
}Try that. I modified a working file reader that I made (that again, works 100% for me), if this doesnt work, then you have some sort of script or addon that is loving up your blockland.

EDIT: the code worked but apparently it is saying that the file doesn't exist even though it does... the paths are all correct...Console is saying autoAdminCheck isn't a valid command (I used it to write to the file on someone joining...)

EDIT 2: Fixed
