This uses code that is already in Pharo:
'/tmp/foo.txt' asFileReference readStreamDo: [ :readStream |
| lineReader |
lineReader := ZnLineReader on: readStream.
Array streamContents: [ :output |
| line |
[ (line := lineReader nextLine) isEmpty ]
whileFalse: [ output nextPut: line ] ] ]
Works with any line end convention. Check the class comment of ZnLineReader.
