PureBasic Forums - English

Hi,

In the docs, there is no indication about the maximun length that ReadString() can return.
I searched in the PB forums (Keywords : ReadString Length) and didn't find any concluant post.

I use ReadString(FileNb,#PB_File_IgnoreEOL,#PB_File_IgnoreEOL) to retrieve the whole content of text files and for the first time, one file has more than 65536 chars.
As, in theory, string variables have no length limitation, it seems that ReadString() can't return more than these 65536 chars...

Can you confirm ? Is it a bug or a inherent limitation ? If it really is a limitation, perhaps it should be mentioned in the docs (in which case, I'll create a request in the right section).

Thanks.

The Problem is not PB.

The second Parameter of ReadString is the length!
You set length as #PB_File_IgnoreEOL = 65536

That's your problem
