Hi, Consider this snippet please:



This file contains this data:

aaaaaaaa
bbbbbb
cccc
dd

And the result that I am getting is :
ddccbbaa

That means, that the  line input command is reading all the lines one by one, and storing them in the same variable, without executing the next instructions in the while loop.

Why is this? What am I doing wrong?

Gambas 3.14.2 pi

I would do this a different way.

Consider this code: -
Result: -
aaaaaaaa
bbbbbb
cccc
dd

This may be easier to understand: -

Have a look at the Split command here, Join command http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb/string[]/join
String &/ String Concatenate two strings that contain file names. Add a path separator between the two strings if necessary.

Its because you are using a carriage return (decimal 13) instead of a line feed (decimal 10).

Windows likes CR + LF but Linux likes just LF.
