Hmm, doesn't this post rather belong onto the Beginner's list? ;)
But while we're at it - when putting together text from single lines,
an easy yet fast way is to collect the lines NOT like this (with the
same explanation that Seth just gave):
do
allText = allText + nextLine () + EndOfLine
loop ...
but like this:
dim individualLines() as String
do
individualLines.Append nextLine ()
loop ...
allText = Join (individualLines, EndOfLine)
