Reading the text file line by line and push to an array in AS3

Question

I need some code in AS3 that will read a text file line by line and insert it into an array. Is this possible without having any special character?

Answer 1

For those wondering about large text files, you can't know when there'll be a line break before you read the line break byte. What I suggest is to have a loop that would instead of read all bytes with

fileStream.readUTFBytes(fileStream.bytesAvailable);

You do a few hundred bytes at a time, process whatever you need, then continue reading after.
