Import brl.filestream

Function Main:Int()

    Local str:FileStream = FileStream.Open("C:/MonkeyXPro81b/modules/redactor/files/pgrp1.grp", "r")
    If Not str
        Print "no"
        Return 1
    End
    
    While Not str.Eof
        Local str2:String = str.ReadString

        Print str2[2]                    ' str2[2]    = string indexing: returns a character

        Print String.FromChar( str2[2] ) ' str2[2]    = string indexing: returns a character
                                         ' String.FromChar() creates a string from a character

        Print str2[2..3]                 ' str2[2..3] = string slicing:  returns a substring

    Wend
    
    str.Close

    Return 0

End

Please note that str.ReadString reads the whole file. There is no ReadLine method, so the While..Wend loop isn't required.
