[ file->asString ]
The [file->asString] method returns a string representation of the [file] object. If you haven't actually done anything but initialize a [file] object, all you will see is 'File: ', but once the file has been opened / used, it will append the file descriptor to the output.
- Syntax
local(f) = file(...)
#f->open

Before and after demo
The code below demonstrates the difference between calling [file->asString] before you use or open the file and after you open or use the file.
Code
local(styles) = file('/css/style.css')
#styles->asString
'<br>'
#styles->openRead
#styles->asStringResult
File:
File: filedesc
