"The whole-file I/O routines, starting with readfile, are a great idea - usually what you want in a file is to read the whole thing. There should be one (file?) for reading the whole file as a string too." This is easy in blub, too: http://commons.apache.org/io/api-release/org/apache/commons/io/FileUtils.html#readFileToString http://commons.apache.org/io/api-release/org/apache/commons/...(java.io.File) , although that URL gets incorrectly parsed by PG's buggy Arc code. :)
