originally introduced in the messaging facilities (mode "m" only feature) and
when the book was being written it was decided to implement for regular files as
well. But no one ever volunteered before now. There are no current plans to
support reads(... -1) for sockets, windows, etc.Kim, thanks for the
prod!Cheers,Clint
Thanks Jafar for the workaround.
I wrote in the end:
kf := open(fn, "ru") | stop(ErrorMsg[2])
line := reads(kf, stat(kf).size)
which works as required.
Clint, do you mean a library module version of reads()? I don’t see a problem
with open(). (Not that I am clever enough to do either!)
