Forums Scripts & Popups reading past a $crlf

I have a text file which separates data on a line using a $crlf, how can read past that $crlf to get the data at the end of the line?

$read stops at the $crlf and refuses to let me get access to anything else.

I don't think you can, even file handling acts the same:

$fread(name | N)

Returns the next $crlf delimited line.

Try seperating it by something different, eg: a TAB ($chr(9))

I didn't make it, otherwise I would have changed it...I'm thinking it's not possible too, anyone else have any ideas???

You can TRY:

//bread FILEHERE.txt 0 1000 &t | //echo -> $bvar(&t,1,1000).text


and use $replace() to change $crlf to something more, um, manageable.

hmmm...thanks I'll give that a shot...

An example to see if this is what you want can be shown as:

type this as a command:

//var %i = 5000 | while (%i) { write moo.txt %i | dec %i }

Add this to your remotes

alias breading {
if (!$1) { var %d = 900 }
var %fs = 0
while ($file(moo.txt) >= %fs) {
bread moo.txt %fs %d &t
echo -> $replace($remove($bvar(&t,1,%d).text,$chr(10)),$chr(13),~)
inc %fs %d
}
}

Syntax: /breading

Will output numbers, 5000 - 1, seperated by ~ instead of your $crlf.

if you separate it using a $crlf, why dont you just read the next line then?

To be perfectly honest greeny, i asked myself that but he asked to "read past" the crlf, for some reason or another, and that was the solution, although perhaps hes' only using a $cr not $crlf, so it would appear all on one line but $read wouldnt catch it.
