I need some help with a script I am writing. I am trying to read the lines of a notecard into a list. What I am seeing is that only the first line of the notecard is being read. What am I doing wrong?

Here is the code snippet where I am reading the notecard lines into the list.

CODE

    
    ToDo=[]; //Clear list of old data
    	  
    
    		gName = NoteCard; // select the first notecard in the object's inventory
    		gQueryID = llGetNotecardLine(gName, gLine);// request first line
    	}	
    
    	dataserver(key query_id, string data)
    	{
    
    		
    		if (query_id == gQueryID) {
    			if (data != EOF) {	// not at the end of the notecard
    				llOwnerSay((string)gLine+": "+data);
    				ToDo = ToDo + data;  // add the line to the list
    				gLine++;				// increase line count
    				gQueryID = llGetNotecardLine(gName, gLine);	// request next line
    			}
    		}
 
    		llOwnerSay((string)llGetListLength(ToDo) + " Lines Read");
    		
  //DO STUFF HERE
    
    	}


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You didn't include a complete script, so I added in what was necessary to run it. I only changed one line...

I'm not sure if "NoteCard" is a string or not, but instead of using this...
gName = NoteCard;
...use this...
gName = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_NOTECARD,0);
...which selects the first notecard from inventory.

After changing this line my list read just fine.

Here's my script. Compare it to yours and see what you might be missing...
From: someone

list ToDo;
string gName;
integer gLine;
key gQueryID;

default
{
state_entry()
{
gName = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_NOTECARD,0); // select the first notecard in the object's inventory
gQueryID = llGetNotecardLine(gName, gLine);// request first line
}

dataserver(key query_id, string data)
{
if (query_id == gQueryID) {
if (data != EOF) { // not at the end of the notecard
llOwnerSay((string)gLine+": "+data);
ToDo = ToDo + data; // add the line to the list
gLine++; // increase line count
gQueryID = llGetNotecardLine(gName, gLine); // request next line
}
}

llOwnerSay((string)llGetListLength(ToDo) + " Lines Read";);

//DO STUFF HERE

}
}
