I know you can do something like this:
readlines(FileName) ->
{ok, Device} = file:open(FileName, [read]),
get_all_lines(Device, []).
get_all_lines(Device, Accum) ->
case io:get_line(Device, "") of
eof -> file:close(Device), Accum;
Line -> get_all_lines(Device, Accum ++ [Line])
end.
: Is there a one liner BIF that can do this too?
