Reading content of a text file....

Hi,

I am using the OpenDiag component to open a file, but after open a file i want to read the contents of that file into my Memo field...

How can i do this?

See the Delphi help >> Text File Routines ... everything you need is there !

Good luck,
Silver

Heh, the TStringList object (i.e. Memo.Lines) has a LoadFromFile method. You can use this to read data from a file into a memo. Something like this ought to do the trick:

it depends how you want to read it?

is it just normal text/
comma, comma delimated, tab data?

Its just a normal text file, i also came cross thse 2 ways of doingit:

QueryInput.Lines.LoadFromFile(OpenDialog1.FileName);


AND

AssignFile(myFile, OpenDialog1.FileName);
Reset(myFile);

while not Eof(myFile) do
begin
ReadLn(myFile, querytext);
QueryInput.Lines.Add(querytext);
end;
