Read line on Gideros without carriage return

somezombiegm

Hello, I tested the following code on LuaEdit and stores a string just like I want it.

local lineVal = myFile:read("*line")

However when I test it in Gideros, it stores a string with the line plus a carriage return, which I don't need. How do I get only the strings of the line without the carriage return?

Please help.

@somezombiegm, use replace to replace the character with a ''. you will have to check based on your system is it \r or \n and you can then replace it, i.e. remove it.

edited: whoops, used the wrong slashes earlier

Thanks @OZApps. I didn't test your solution cause this one worked: After reading the file just use gsub to get rid the carriage return.

lineVal = string.gsub(lineVal,"\r","")
