Brute force file reader that is not concerned with file endings

readLines() in combination with unz() fails o read the last line of a file if it does not end in a CR/LF. I haven't found a workaround besides a manual read loop like below.

read_file(conn)

Arguments

conn

connection. For svgparser this is always an unz() connection to the zipped version of the icon set

Value

single string representing file contents

Details

This function reads all character in a file regardless of line endings or file endings.
