get_line_from_file

get_line_from_file($file,$rand,$line,$timeout=COMMAND_TIME); - read a string from the specified file

The function accepts parameters as input:

  • $file – path to the file to read the string from. It can be either absolute or relative (relative to the script folder).
  • $rand – specifies to read a random string (true) or use the $line parameter (false)
  • $line – number of the line to read if the parameter $rand=false (line numbering starts from zero as everywhere else)
  • $timeout – maximum time to perform this operation (in seconds), by default - 60 seconds, if the operation is not completed during this time, the script continues to run further.

    After testing, the function returns the result of its work to the script :
  • string – the specified string from the file
  • false – the operation was not performed (the file was not found)
