I want to read from (ANSI) file; how do I do it?

I tried

var text = WStrings.LoadFromFile("filename.txt");

but then

Code: Select all

ShowMessage(text);

displays a number (always the same: 151894672) and not file content. Perhaps it's a bug?

Then I tried opening the file with MainApp.OpenFile and then using GetText, which worked, but 1) I'd prefer to read it in a "silent" mode, and 2) I'm not sure how to close a non-current document...

Then I tried TFileStream, but samples shown in the help file raised some errors -- first line

Code: Select all

TFileStream stream = TFileStream.Create("C:\\Test.txt");

lacks Mode, but even after adding it RJ TE complained ("Not enough actual parameters"), which finally discouraged me from streams.

You could try:

Code: Select all

TStringList list = TStringList.Create;
try
  list.LoadFromFile("C:\\Test.txt");
  var text = list.Text;
  ...
finally
   list.Free;
end;

or

Code: Select all

WStrings.LoadFromFile("filename.txt");
var text = WStrings.GetText;

I'll look into the stream issue.
