file object
This method will read a file until a specified string is found.
string read_until(string text, bool require_full)
Parameters:
text
The text to search for in the file.
require_full
A boolean value specifying whether the full text should be found before the file stops reading, or any character in the sequence.
Return value:
A string containing the retrieved data on success, the entire text if the file was successfully read but the string not found, or an empty string if data is unretrievable.
Remarks:
The data returned will include the search string. If the search string cannot be found, the entire text, if any, will be returned by this function.

test.open("test.txt", "r");
alert("test.txt contents", test.read_until("\r\n",true));
