[File->ReadString]
[File->ReadString] reads string data from a file. If a character set has been set using [File->SetEncoding] then that character set is used to translate data from the file into Lasso's string format. Alternately, [File->Read] can be used to read a byte stream from a file.
The tag requires a single parameter which specifies how many bytes of data to read from the file. In files that contain multi-byte data this number may not correspond to the number of characters which will be read from the file.
