tv_readtextfile how?

[Mads Juul]

How does it wotk?
I want to read to content of the file "C:/test.edl"

should this work?

tv_readtextfile "C:/test.edl"

And is the result the content of the text file?

tv_readtextfile linenumber filename
return linenumber and line readed or EOF if the linenumber is after the end of the file

example:

Code: Select all

text = ""
loop = 1
line = 0
while ( loop==1 )
    tv_readtextfile  line "c:/windows/system.ini"
    parse result eof string
    if ( CMP( eof, "EOF"  ) == 1)
         loop = 0
   else
          text = text""string
    end
   line = line + 1
end
tv_warn text

Ahh thank you Herve
in the Changes.txt in the SDk it says

Code: Select all

tv_readtextfile FileNumber FOLDER_Name

it is a little confusing it should be changed to

Code: Select all

tv_readtextfile linenumber filename
