$file.read

Reads a text file
Syntax

$file.read(<filename>[,<size>])

Description
Reads at most <size> bytes of the file pointed by <filename>.
The data read is returned as a string , so if the file contains binary data, expect strange results.
If <size> is not specified , the whole file is readed.
WARNING: always check the file size before attemting to read a whole file... reading a CDROM iso image may sit down your system :) (and will prolly crash while allocating memory , before attempting to read anything)
An empty string is returned if a serious error occures.
The <filename> is adjusted according to the system that KVIrc is running on.
