The ReadLine(file) command reads a string containing all the characters from the current file position to the first newline character or the end of file. The characters are returned as a string.

If the current file position is the end of the file, a call to ReadLine returns NULL, but ReadLine does not automatically close file. This behavior is different from readline .
