read entire file

[meerkat]

How do you input a complete file without reading one line at a time?
Is there a size limit on the size of the input$ command?
For some reason I only get the first 4096 bytes.

Thanks for the help..


open "something.txt" for input as #f
fileLin = LOF(#f)   ' max is 4096
print fileLin
a$ = input$(#f,LOF(#f))
print len(a$)       'max is 4096
close #f
end

I presume you're using LB5?

Yes.. LB5.
I suppose this is already a known issue?

I'm going to go ahead and move this to the LB5 board. While LB5 is still in development, it'd be best to keep relevant discussions isolated to prevent confusion.

As for the issue, it seems familiar, but I'm not certain of the specifics.

I think I saw this before and I forgot about it.
