Function FILEREAD()
Action Lists a text file of unlimited size
Returns
Category Metafunction
Syntax FILEREAD([expN1],[expN2],[expN3],[expN4],[expC])
Description Lists a text file [expC] of unlimited size in a user
definable window. [expN1..expN4] (top,left bottom,
right) Allows up down right left scrolling. I use this
for reports or output sent to a disk file.
Options If [expN1..expN4] are not passed, a default of
window of dimensions 2,2,22,78 is used. If no
filename [expC] is passed, a popup picklist is
used to get a file name from the current
directory.
Examples
REPORT FORM summary TO summary.txt
FILEREAD(2,2,22,78,"SUMMARY.TXT")
Notes Unlimited file size. Won't bomb like memoedit.
However, not nearly as fast as memoedit and
no editing capabilities.
Fileread uses a 98% Clipper code routine to
list text files.
Warning Cursor is left ON
