Parameter	Description
maxlength	if greater than zero, this is the maximum length of the string that will be read

Example

path = GetPath(PATH_DOCUMENTS) .. "/temp.txt"

-- Write a new file
stream = WriteFile(path)
if stream == nil then
    Print("Failed to write file.")
    return 0
end

stream:writeString("Hello, world!")
stream:close()

stream = ReadFile(path)
Print(stream:readString())
