How to make a movie by loading txt for each frames?

I'm just a beginner and not quite familiar with the commands..Can any one show me a simple example for that?
Are there something like "infile.eof()" , "infile>>" in C++ available in lua?
THX~!

There are lot of useful information:

Thanks for your help.^ ^

I have another question,I wonder if you can help me with this too :(/>/> .I saw someone coded a movie by changing the "filmText" in the "alongtimeago" file which comes with the mod..so if I already have pictures transfered to words, how can I transfer them into the filmText?

local filmText='FramesHere'
local function iterator()
return coroutine.wrap( function()
  for line in string.gmatch( filmText, "([^n]*)n") do
   coroutine.yield(line)
  end
  return false
end )
end
term.clear()
local it = iterator()
sleep(3)
local bFinished = false
while not bFinished do
-- Read the frame header
local holdLine = it()
if not holdLine then
  bFinished = true
  break
end
-- Get this every frame incase the monitor resizes
local w,h = term.getSize()
local startX = math.floor( (w - 77) / 2 )
local startY = math.floor( (h - 33) / 2 )
-- Print the frame
term.clear()
for n=1,34 do
  local line = it()
  if line then
   term.setCursorPos(startX, startY + n)
   term.write( line )
  else
   bFinished = true
   break
  end
end
-- Hold the frame
local hold = tonumber(holdLine) or 1
local delay = (hold * 0.06) - 0.01
sleep(delay)
end

Yes, of course, just at the end of each line put n

So how can I separate each frame? Just keep adding /n ?
It seems that there is a definition about how many lines make a frame in the code(maybe this? –> for n=1,34 do local line = it() if…. if…..) what's the function iterator() ?

Okay rename frames as 1.txt 2.txt and try this code

frames = 10 -- how many frames you got?
time = 1 -- Time that every frame displayed for
for i=1,frames,1 do
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
f = fs.open(i..".txt","r")
fra = f.readAll()
f.close()
print(fra)
sleep(time)
end

Happy coding!

Sorry to reply so late.
Thank you very much!!.. :D/>/>
That's very easy to understand,nice code.. I love it :P/>/>
