Is there any more efficient way of converting a text file to an array of strings in Squirrel?
Code:

    function read_line()
    {
        local line="";
        local char;

        while ( !eos() )
        {
            if ( _blb.eos() && _f && !_f.eos() )
                _blb = _f.readblob( _readsize );

            while ( !_blb.eos() )
            {
                char = _blb.readn( 'b' );
                if ( char == '\n' )
                    return strip( line );

                line += char.tochar();
            }
        }

        return line;
    }


This is the code I'm using atm to read a line and it's very inneficient to call getchar() for each letter

In fact... not really. Squirrel is meant to be embedded, if you need more sophistcated/faster ways of reading files, write your own (C++) function for that. Or add a "readline" (and tostring) method to blobs, for example.
