[Gambas-user] Questions about reading of a text file with "Read".

[nando]

Please read the help on READ.
When you specify a string variable 's' with out a length
then the string length byte is read first.
So your string you are reading is probably 49 characters long
and Im guessing the first is probably character 48
so it will only read 48 characters starting in the next position.
