first version, needs better example

New page

The bread command is used to read content from a file in to a [[binary file|Binary Files]]
<nowiki>bread [-t] <filename> <S> <N> <&binvar></nowiki>
This reads N bytes starting at the Sth byte position in the file and stores the result in the binary variable &binvar.

The -t switch reads data up to the next CR/LF.

== Examples ==
bread versions.txt 27 100 &binvar
This will read in to the binary variable ''&binvar'' from the ''27''th position of ''versions.txt'', the follows ''100'' characters, this will include all [[$crlf]].
At the time of writing, the 27th posistion is the start of the 3rd line.
17/02/2006 - mIRC v6.17 '''Line 1''' which is 23 characters
followed by two $crlf (which is two characters each)
You can view what is in the varible with the following code:
echo -ag $bvar(&binvar,1,100)
''or''
echo -ag $bvar(&binvar,1,100).text
The latter will show you the text output as if you was looking at the information in a text editor. The first would show you the each characters ascii code. Looking at the ascii codes can help you see if the line starts with a space or see where new lines are etc.

== Note ==
Note that if you want to read from the start of the file, posistion S is the first character in the file.
