The GlideTextReader API provides the ability to read single lines from an input stream. Because an input stream is used, it is not subject to the 5MB attachment size limit.

GlideTextReader - GlideTextReader( GlideScriptableInputStream inputStream)

Creates a scoped GlideTextReader object for the specified input stream.

Table 1. Parameters
Name Type Description
inputStream GlideScriptableInputStream The input stream to be read.

GlideTextReader - getEncoding()

Returns the character encoding of the input stream.

Table 2. Parameters
Name Type Description
None
Table 3. Returns
Type Description
String The character encoding of the input stream.

GlideTextReader - readLine()

Returns a single line from the input stream and returns a string. Since this is working off of a stream, it is not subject to the 5MB size limit.

Table 4. Parameters
Name Type Description
None
Table 5. Returns
Type Description
String A single line of input up to the carriage return. Does not include the carriage return. Returns null if there is no content.

Example

var is = new GlideSysAttachment().getContentStream(attachmentSysId);
var reader = new GlideTextReader(is);
var ln = ' ';
while((ln = reader.readLine()) != null) {
  gs.info(ln);
}
