ReadLines Function Fails on Files with multiple EndofLines

Thank you for this. Great spot. I’ll get this folded into main.

So I've finally had a chance to investigate and I'm not seeing what you're seeing.

Using your input in a file called readLines-test.txt on my desktop:

The
quick
brown

fox

jumped

over
the
lazy

dog

This script:

var f = FSItem("/Users/garry/Desktop/readLines-test.txt")

foreach line in f.readLines {
System.print(line)
}

Gives me this output:

The
quick
brown

fox

jumped

over
the
lazy

dog

Which is expected, no?

This is running on macOS.

I'll have to retest with current release and let you know. On windows the EOL is joining lines with no empty lines between them if 2 or more EOLs are contiguous. There is a known similar issue in Xojo with the TextArea control for windows not respecting endoflines. Will play around with updated success tonight and report back. Have a great Monday in the meantime. Thanks for taking time to look also.
