[Newbies] Re: reading lines from textfiles on Linux

[Charles D Hixson]

OK.  Now:
| fil lin n |
fil    :=    FileStream fileNamed: 'aising/data/technologies.csv' .
n    :=    0.
[fil atEnd] whileFalse:
[ lin := fil nextLine.
  n := n + 1.
  Transcript cr; show: 'lin '; show: n; show: ' = '; show: lin.
].
 Transcript cr; show: 'normal end after '; show: n; show: ' lines'.

results in:
normal end

Notice that the linefeeds aren't being taken as line separators.  They
are present, and affecting the formatting of the output, but nextLine is
grabbing the entire file.
