Syntax
Procedure Read String sFileName
Call Example
Send Read sFileName
Description
The Read message imports information from an external source to the object's buffer. If sFileName is omitted, then the File_Name property of the object is used. The external file is read until the end of file is reached. The DataFlex sequential I/O system is used, so any valid file name and sequential modifier may be used. New line and tab are treated specially by the system; all other characters (that are greater than space) are inserted into the buffer.
