Hey,

I have a question about while loop.
Let's say I want to read from a file with a while loop:

PHP Code:

new Handle:File = OpenFile("file.txt", "r")
new String:buffer[128]
while(!IsEndOfFile(File))
{
    ReadFileLine(File, buffer, sizeof(buffer))
    PrintToServer("%s", buffer)
} 


How the function "ReadFileLine" knows what line to read every time the loop start over?
I mean it starts from the top but how it knows how to read all the file?
I don't see here a option to set a line number or something like that, and yet, it is still reading the next line.

Any explanations?


Thanks in Advance

The file pointer keeps track of the position inside the file that it is currently at.
So when it reads a line, it's current position is at the end of that line. When you read a line again, it remembers where it left off and gets the next line.
Then you just repeat that process for the whole file.

Great explanation.
Thanks.
