NPC Code:

---

requesttext("document", "docu/docu_graalscript.txt");

This does not appear to return anything on Rudora (and yes, the file does exist).
However, Stefan helped me with trying to read a file serverside which worked:

NPC Code:

---

  lines = "";

  lines.loadlines("");

  this.line = "";

  for (i=0; i<lines.size(); i++)

    this.line @= lines[i]@"\n";

  this.line @= "";

---

The only problem I have found with this is download times for large documents, but I am yet to look into that.

I am assuming that loadlines and loadstring are very similar; loadlines downloads the file into an array, each value being a line, and loadstring loads the entire file into a string, seperating lines by \n, although I'm not sure.

I am yet to look at saving to files, so I cannot help you there.
Edit Found this in the scripted RC, so I hope it will give you some insight.
text.savestring("rclog.txt",1);
It would save the string "text" to "rclog.txt", obviously. I do not know what the last parameter is for, though.

I shall have a look at it sometime; its still on Rudora. :P
