Problems with reading files.

[TheCyberVerse 1]

I need to get the contents of a file line by line because i am trying to create an open printer program but I'm not sure what to do.

I have tried:

while not (file:read("*l") == nil) do
  	openprinter.writeln(file:read("*l"))
end

But the file:read("*l") on the second line returned nil.

Any suggestions?

Use

```

for line in io.lines("/home/file.txt") do

  --line is a string

end

```
