T3D 1.1 Final - FileObject OpenForRead Fails - w/suggest Fix(ish) - LOGGED (THREED-3158)

T3D 1.1Final

win7

target:
FileObject I/O

issue:
Fileobject does not seem to read lines in a file

repeat:
create 2 functions and have them exec'd somewhere on startup

first, create the file

function fileObjectTest1()
{
// Create a file object for writing
%fileWrite = new FileObject();

// Open a file to write to, if it does not exist it will be created
%fileWrite.OpenForWrite("./test.txt");
// Write a line to the text files
%fileWrite.writeLine("READ. READ CODE. CODE");


// Close the text file
%fileWrite.close();

// Cleanup
%fileWrite.delete();
}

And then a function to read it:

function fileObjectTest2()
{
   %file = new FileObject();
   
   if ( %file.openForRead("./test.txt") ) 
   {
		
		while ( !%file.isEOF() ) 
		{
			%line = %file.readLine();
			echo(%line);
		}
		
		%file.close();
	}
	else
	{
	   echo("read failed");  
	}
   %file.delete();
}

Boot up T3D, from the main menu you should be able to get the console and type in :

fileObjectTest1()
fileObjecttest2()

Notice how it reads nothing, no line is echoed, and the fail warning comes up - but the file is there. Look in the new text file under game/test.txt and you'll see the line is in there too, so write is okay.

Suggest ... fix it!
