<br>
<br>
<b>Description<br>
</b><br>

<b>Optional parameters<br>
</b><br>

<br>
<b>Return value<br>
</b><br>
A STRING containing the characters read. If the line is longer than 132 characters the
entire line is read but the result truncated to 132 characters by inlin().<br>
<br>
<b>Errors<br>
</b><br>
See the iostat() function for proper error handling.<br>
<br>
<b>Comments<br>
</b><br>
End of line is the linfeed character ASCII 10 in a UNIX textfile but the combination of
linefeed and carriage return in Microsoft Windows, ASCII 10 + ASCII 13. This may cause
problems if you try to read a textfile created by Windows95/NT with a VARKON system
running under UNIX. The UNIX command tr -d '\r' can be used to strip the extra carriage
return characters from a Windows text file. <br>
