Reading a file line by line

[goodweather]

Hi,
I’d like to read from and write to a text file (.txt) line by line.
Tried this but without any success. Any hint? I must be close…

fileToRead = utils.openFileWindow(
	"Open file to read as text",
	File.getSpecialLocation(File.userHomeDirectory),
	"*.*",
	true
)

if fileToRead:existsAsFile() then
	while true do
        line = fileToRead:read()
        if line == nil then break end
        	print (line)
	end
end

Getting Error message: [string “openFile”]:26: attempt to call method ‘read’ (a nil value)

Thx and Merry Xmas to all!

I need this too. Any idea?
Is for save an reload config files like:

PATH=/home/patches\n
VAR1=Lead.syx\n
VAR2=Pad01.syx\n
EOF

And how to split a line by the caracter ‘=’
