Reading a file client side ?

[pefu19]

I want to read a file and echo it to the console, but whenever i do openpc("pathtofile"); it makes an infinite loop saying Line:
this is my code:

Code: [Select]

function openpc(%path){
%file = new FileObject();
%file.openForRead(%path);

while(!%file.isEoF){
$pcContent = %file.readLine();
echo("Line: "@$pcContent);
}


}

I want to do it client sidely

%file.isEOF is a method. It should be %file.isEOF().

%file.isEOF is a method. It should be %file.isEOF().

That worked, thank you very much.

For the record: A lot of features, including but not limited to file IO is engine-sided, not client-sided or server-sided. It's exactly the same no matter what.

Also, be sure to close and delete the file to avoid issues.

What he means is

Code: [Select]

function openpc(%path){
%file = new FileObject();
%file.openForRead(%path);

while(!%file.isEoF()){
$pcContent = %file.readLine();
echo("Line: "@$pcContent);
}
%file.close();
%file.delete();
}

Doing so prevents memory leaks.

Yea, you are not deleting the file itself, only the object that the engine uses to actually read the file.
