Hi,
I tried your suggestion but does not provide what I wanted.
I have a file lines.txt with the following contents:
line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
line 5
Doing the following in R3:
>> dat: deline to-string read %lines.txt
== {line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
line 5
}
>> length? dat
== 35
Which shows clearly, that I do not get what read/lines %lines.txt did in R2=2E
If I even omit the deline I get the identical results. For me deline seems to
be only useful if I get a file from a different platform.
Any more suggestions for the read/lines replacement in R3??
