@SAFEREAD — Reads text from a file, mapping any dangerous characters to safe alternatives.

Syntax:
%@SAFEREAD[handle,length]

handle:a file handle opened with @FILEOPEN
length:the number of bytes to read; if not specified, one line is read

This function calls TCC’s built-in @FILEREAD function and massages whatever text it returns. See the Take Command documentation for more information on @FILEREAD.

If you attempt to read past the end of the file, @SAFEREAD will return the value **EOF**.
