read a color out of a file

file = fs.open ("aFile", "r")

print (file.readLine ()) --first line
print (file.readLine ()) -- second line
print (file.readLine ()) --you get the pattern...
...
file.close ()

Readline reads the next line, so calling readline multiple times will read diffrent lines.

file = fs.open ("aFile", "r")

print (file.readLine ()) --first line
print (file.readLine ()) -- second line
print (file.readLine ()) --you get the pattern...
...
file.close ()

You can also use file.readAll () and split the text using string.split, I'm notgoing to put an example here becauze I'm on mobile right now.

local file = http.get( "URL_TO_RAW_PASTE_DATA" )
local data = file.readAll()
print( data )

local file = http.get("www.example.com")
local content = {}
for line in file.readLine do
  table.insert(content, line)
end

Could you not have made another topic altogether instead?

Anyways, colors.farbe does not exist in the colors api.
And since farbe is a string, you need to convert it into a number.
So paintutils.drawPixel(1,5, tonumber(farbe)) would be the way to go.

Did I really write it like that? I hope not, 'cause that won't work… you'd need to use f.readLine there, as opposed to f.readLine().
