Display txt file

[DJ Bert]

Hi all

I know that is asked before how to get display a text file, but can find it.
I have just a old code from old Guardian (lua4)

function SendTsss(user) 
	local tsss =" \r\n"
	readfrom("Guardian/tsss.txt")
	while 1 do
		local line = read()
		if (line == nil) then
			break
		else
			tsss = tsss..line.."\r\n"
		end
	end
	user:SendData(BOTName,  "\r\n"..tsss)
	readfrom()
end

How to works in lua 5???

 local f=io.open(file,"r")
  if f then
    local contents = string.gsub(f:read("*a"),string.char(10), "\r\n") -- replace line end to DC++ way
    user:SendPM(Bot.name,"\r\n"..contents.."\r\n")
    f:close()
  end

f:read("*a") reads the file at once and returns the contents, now you have to replace the line end chars to "\r\n" to make it displayable in DC++, but still faster. :)
