Hi,

How to get the contents of an Ascii file (.Txt or .htm) to a Variable

For Eg: I need to open a .Txt file .or. .html (basically ascii files) and read its contents to a memory variable. I would like to know the right function to get this done with a sample.

Thanks & Regards

I think I got it. It can be done using cVar:=MemoRead(cFileName). Hope I am on the right direction. I don't know whether there are any other better solution than this MemoRead()

Anser,

MemoRead() is the easiest and simplest way

Thankyou Mr.Antonio

It is also possible with TTEXT class .
oTxt:=TTxtFile():New("test.txt")
wnbl:=oTxt:recCount()
for bcl=1 to nbl
aadd(vtxt,oTxt:ReadLine())
oTxt:skip()
next
oTxt:end()
*

It is also possible to create a temporary dbf file with long text field
and then do : APPEND FROM "test.txt" SDF

Thankyou Mr.Jack
