putting a text file into a table fld

Post by Glenn Boyce » Fri May 28, 2010 7:48 am

I've managed to put a few things to bed today thanks to all concerned but still need to be able to put a text file into a table fld. I've put the file in the same folder as the rev app to make things easier but I presume I need to open it, read it and put the contents into the fld. Some assistance with the code would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Glen,

the syntax described in the "import a file" thread is definitively correct!
So your problems are surely not on the Rev side but in the file/filesystem itself

No need to open a new thread actually 8)

P.S.
Does it work if you load the file into the field via button in the "Inspector" of that field?
