file get contents 4kB limit workarounds?

RouterOS Scripting
1

Hi all,

Is there a way to read the contents of a file bigger than 4kB, since the LUA would only be implemented in ROS v5?

I can write a script on the PC to split the file into 4095 byte files, but I would prefer to have a script that can read the large file without having to split it.

Unfortunately yo can’t.

It has nothing to do with fortune but some very strange habit of Mikrotik designers to cripple router in ridiculous manner.

It is understandable that there has to be some limitation, but hey, just 4KB?!?!??!

if used with caution, maybe you can place content in comment field. Not in file body.

You can try to use OpenWrt Linux running in MetaRouter. I use it to process larger files and then send results back to RouterOS.
