Hi andy

Well back to front it would be

[ :line | Transcript show: line; cr.] value: aFileStream nextLine .

which should do what you want.

I need someone to poke me with a clue stick please!

I am trying to step through a file a line at a time.

I had the idea that

this should work

aFileStream nextLine do: [ :line| Transcript show:

line; cr.].

Unfortunately (as will be obvious to everyone) what

it actually does is

print a character at a time. It took me a while to

realise that -

aFileStream nextLine - is returning a string and the

- do: - passing

the block to each character.

I need a way of passing the block to the string a

line at a time. Or

perhaps I have got this totally back to front and

there is a much easier

way of doing this?
