(RouterOs 5.14 and 5.8 tested)
I try it with several files and several scripts
:local content [ /file get [ /file find name=console-dump.txt] value-name=contents ]
:local contentLen [:len $content ]
but len is always 0, and contents is always empty.
If I read name, file len, or other value-names, then works fine, but not with contents
Why???
Thanks
try this
:put [file get number=console-dump.txt contents]
and
:put [:len [file get number=console-dump.txt contents]]
According to fewi, variables can’t be larger than 4096 bytes:

I tested your code, and it worked just fine for me as long as the file size was less than 4096 bytes. Anything larger than that and I got a length of 0, just like you were seeing.
ok, thanks!
