just to tidy the code up a bit, here is a slightly cleaner version :

[indent=2]

init

  var f = FileStream.open("./main.gs","r")

  var a = new array of char[2048]

  while f.gets(a) is not null
    a[a.length - 1] = 0         /*make it null-terminated*/
    var ONELINE = (string)a     /*cast array-of-char to a string*/
    print ONELINE
