A simple filecreate, allocate buffer, fileread, fileclose will probably

Lazarus has a ReadFileToString in fileutil.

I use this function to read a file into a string:
function ReadFile(const FileName: TFileName): String;
var
InputFile: THandle;
FileSize, BytesRead: Integer;
Buffer: String='';
begin
try
InputFile := FileOpen(FileName, fmOpenRead);
if InputFile = -1 then
begin

I often need to use a function which reads a file into a string, as is so
common in so many scripting languages. Can it be considered to add something
like this to the RTL? Since we have a refcounted Ansistring type it's natural

This looks good to me what about the concerns raised by Michael?

Great, thanks Michael.
I've always used AnsiString so why is UnicodeString preferable here?
So is the idea we need to specify an UTF-8 encoding for
Not 100% on this but I think the gist is that UnicodeString is compatible with
AnsiString and a conversion is done on assignment.

Wouldn't it be better to implement it directly as *IOUtils.TFile* (like
Deplhi)?
*class function ReadAllBytes(const Path: string): TBytes; static;class
function ReadAllLines(const Path: string): TStringDynArray;overload;
static;class function ReadAllLines(const Path: string; const Encoding:

Well, the answer is twofold:
1. IOUtils does not exist yet. Now the OP has a solution.
2. I don't use IOUtils and don't plan to.
Its .NET-like approach has no added value for me.
Just like I don't use rtii unit, but always use the more low-level
typinfo unit.
But once TFile will be im

I use a secondary unit as alias of all separate units as Marco suggests in
https://github.com/fanoframework/fano/blob/master/src/fano.pas
However I am curious if merging units like this has drawback. AFAIK smart
linking works.

Since we're on the topic how about another one-liner for reading all the files
in directory into a dynamic array? This has the added benefit of getting
enumeration for free. This is standard stuff for working with files in
scripting languages so I think the FPC RTL should include something like

Not sure how Michael implemented it but we have this in the RTL now, so we can
throw away our ReadFile functions. I have many of those littered around in
various projects so
