How to use ItemList Box to Display a Text File or Contents of a Text File

Keywords: 	  itembox askfiletext file text

Question:

Answer:

1. If all you want to do is display the file, use AskFileText.

2. Otherwise...

      fname="c:\temp\example.txt" ; your file
      fsize=FileSize(fname)
      bb=BinaryAlloc(fsize)
      BinaryRead(bb,fname)
      filetext=BinaryPeekStr(bb,0,fsize)
      BinaryFree(bb)
   

   Now use the filetext variable in your Dialog ItemBox.
