GlideTextReader- Scoped

The GlideTextReader API provides the ability to read single lines from an input stream. Because an input stream is used, it is not subject to the 5MB attachment size limit.

Parent Topic:Server API reference

GlideTextReader - GlideTextReader( GlideScriptableInputStream inputStream)

Creates a scoped GlideTextReader object for the specified input stream.

GlideTextReader - getEncoding()

Returns the character encoding of the input stream.

GlideTextReader - readLine()

Returns a single line from the input stream and returns a string. Since this is working off of a stream, it is not subject to the 5MB size limit.

var is = new GlideSysAttachment().getContentStream(attachmentSysId);
var reader = new GlideTextReader(is);
var ln = ' ';
while((ln = reader.readLine()) != null) {
  gs.info(ln);
}
