Function Syntax

string [int] file_to_arraystring filename )

Reads data from a text file and returns a map of strings containing each line.
  • filename: Path to the text file

The returned value is actually a map of strings, one string for each line. Like file_to_map(), empty lines and those starting with a # are ignored.

Code Samples

Reads a data file into a map of strings and prints each line

string [int] lines = file_to_array("mydata.txt");
foreach line_no, line in lines {
  print(`{line_no}: {line}`);
}
