How to read large text files into maya.

[phantastikfan]

Hi. I'm trying to read in the contents of a mel script file from disk. I do this using the fread command. It works ok, BUT the fread apparentely has a max read of 1024 characters. Since most my scripts are longer than that, i need another method.

Any help?

Thanks!

Try that piece of code:


$hdFile = `fopen $strFileName "r"`;
while(!feof($hdFile))
{
$g_strFileContent += `fgetline $hdFile`;
}
fclose $hdFile;

Will do!

Thank you. :-)
