File Class

[ConvertFromOldNGs]

Today, I was looking at making an instant messenger.
Now, I know that JADE is not designed for this, but the library system was getting boring!

So when I want a file transfer done, I needed to copy a file to the database.

Now the question is...
When I read a file, does it read on the computer which called the command, or the server?

Also, some new commands for the file class:
readAllBinary
readAllString

Then when I wanted to load a whole file in, I would just go:

file := _file.readAllBinary;

And it would work.

Why not?

-command, or the server?

It depends upon where the command is. If it is on a method called on the

server or a 'server execution' method it will happen on the server, if not it will happen

on the client. Currently I use the jade database as a temporary transport

mechanism when I want to transfer files between client and server in Jade,

does any one have a more efficent way of doing it, preferably without having

to store it in Jade database?

-Also, some new commands for the file class:

-readAllBinary

-readAllString

-Then when I wanted to load a whole file in, I would just go:

-file := _file.readAllBinary;

Does this achieve the same thing?

File.readBinary(File.length);

-And it would work.

Yes readBinary (file.fileLength) works, but it is just so annoying to use. I decided, why not have a loadFile method. You have loadPicture, why not have loadFile.
So there you have it. My opinions on loading files.
