Syntax

(string, endOfFile) = readLine(fileName, lineNumber)

Description

Function readLine(..) opens the given file, reads enough of the content to get the requested line, and returns the line as a string. Lines are separated by LF or CR-LF; the returned string does not contain the line separator.

If lineNumber > countLines(fileName), an empty string is returned and endOfFile=true. Otherwise endOfFile=false.

    Dialog(loadSelector(filter = "Text files (*.txt; *.dat)", caption = "Open file in which Real parameters are present")));
  input Integer lineNumber(min = 1) "Number of line to read";
