FTPit_LocalReadFile

NameFTPit_LocalReadFile
Description

Reads in the characters or lines of a file.

FormatFTPit_LocalReadFile ( File ; Start ; Amount ; ReadLines )
Required Parameters
File

The path of the local file to read. [This can be a full path or a path relative to the current local directory.]

Optional Parameters
Start

The starting character position or line. If negative, the position will be relative to the end of the file. [Default is 0.]

Amount

The number of characters or lines to read. [Default is all or the remaining part of the file.]

ReadLines

If True, the start and amount parameters refer to the number of lines instead of characters. [Default is False.]

Examples
Example 1

Reads in all the data from the Data.txt file.

FTPit_LocalReadFile ( "~/Desktop/Data.txt" )
Example 2

Reads in 10 characters of data from the Data.txt file starting with the 4th character. Note, the first character of the file is in position 0, which is why you get the 4th character when using a value of 3 as the Start parameter.

FTPit_LocalReadFile ( "C:\Users\Bob\Desktop\Data.txt"; 3; 10 )
Example 3

Reads in all the data from the Data.txt file using the ReadLines option.

FTPit_LocalReadFile ( "C:\Users\Bob\Desktop\Data.txt"; ""; ""; True )
