reading a .json file from disc

[Dave Collins <Dave.Collins@...>]

I'm doing something wrong.

(I am converting an api call into a local file call. It should just read the entire 70K response (in json format) into the var. I parse it out later.)

This hangs my app:

function file_getdata()
	local data_file_path = gre.SCRIPT_ROOT .. "/myfile.json"
	local f = io.open(data_file_path)
	f = io.read("*all")
	f = io.close()
	return f
end
