io:files is only reading one line

Hi!

I’m trying to read data from a file, a .txt. This file has several lines, each one with a color, like:

blue
red
green

I’m trying to read it with io:lines(), but it only reads one line. This is my code:

nomFitxer = ("pantalles/" .. numNivell .. ".txt")  
  
ruta = system.pathForFile( nomFitxer, system.ResourceDirectory )  
local fitxer = io.open( ruta, "r" )  
  
if fitxer then -- nil if no file found  
 for line in fitxer:lines() do   
 print(index .. ": " .. line)  
 arrayColores.insert(index, line)  
 index = index + 1  
 end  
else   
 print("File not found")  
end

Of course, I want to read all the lines in the file and insert them in arrayColores table. Any guess why it isn’t working?

Thanks!

Solved…

My fault, it’s not that it is only reading one line, but there’s an error in line 9. Should be:

table.insert(arrayColores, line)
