Reading text data from file into variable
|
Howdy folks, I don't often post here but I now have a small issue...
Using 6.x, I can't work out how to read a list of names (one per line) from a text file into a string list/variable. I can't work out the form of the #READ command, and could you say,.... loop until EOF?
Thanks,
Steve :) |

Int that case you want to use the %read function.
Protcode follows:
#FILE 1 "textfile.txt"
#LOOP 1,%filesize(1) {#ADDITEM ListVariable {%read(1,0)}} |

Or... if you want to do it all at one go:
#FILE 1 "textfile.txt"
#VAR ListVariable %grep(1, "%*")
#CLOSE 1
