How can I read a local file in FiddlerScript?

[Alex]

I searched the web and found the .NET 'File.Open' instruction, but I have not been able to successfully use it in my script.

I am looking for something like this...

var content = File.Open('path/filename.txt');

This code is just an example, it does not work.

Thank you!

I just found another message on the same subject. I posted it myself a year ago, and I am sorry to say that I completely forgot about it ;-). Anyhow, Nick had this suggestion for me: "it is possible to write to a file (see this thread), so you should do the same in the other direction". I read the thread, but I just do not see how I could reverse the direction and be able to read a file that way. If you could please guide me with some code example, that would be great!

Hello Alex,

 

You can use System.IO.File class and its methods. Note that you must have read rights for the folder you are accessing.

Example

using System.IO; 

var folderPath = "./test.txt";
var streamReader = System.IO.File.OpenText(folderPath);
var s;

while ((s = streamReader.ReadLine()) != null)
{
    MessageBox.Show(s);
}

Wonderful, thank you!

While searching the web for details on your code, I found an instruction that reads the entire file content at a time:

var content = File.ReadAllText('path/filename.txt');

It works for me. I found it on this Stackoverflow thread.
