I am parsing some files, and I want to save each line of the file to a separate table entry.

[HPWebcamAble]

To save an entire file to a table:

local fTable = {}
local line = 1
f = fs.open("filepath","r")
repeat
  fTable[line] = f.readLine()
  line = line+1
until fTable[line-1] == nil
f.close()

Is that what you're looking for?

Probably a better way:

local file = fs.open("file","r")
local tbl = {}
local line = file.readLine()
repeat
  table.insert(tbl,line)
  line = file.readLine()
until line == nil
file.close()

Thanks, the main concept was me wanting to parse a response from my webserver then further and parse it via cc, the table, for simplicity.

If I may add

local file = http.get(url)
local tbl = {}
for lineNum, lineContent in file.readLine do
  tbl[#tbl+1] = lineContent
end

Hmm, I think that might be just:

for lineContent in file.readLine do

Probably. I think both will work just fine, but yours is shorter.

for lineNum, lineContent in file.readLine do --#Maybe for lineContent in file.readLine do?
  tbl[#tbl+1] = lineContent
end

Didn't know that was a thing. Probably works fine too.

Ill take that as 'one of these kinda solved my problem'

yeah, I decided to use the exact code pretty much, so they could browse previously downloaded messages if they haven't got a stable internet connection.
