Loads a list of strings from a specified file.
Declaration
| TStringsObj | A TStrings object |
|||
| FileName | [in] | Required | String | |
| Result | Integer |
Description
Use the LoadFromFile method to fill the TStrings object with a list of strings from a specified file. This method first removes all strings from the list, and then populates the list with separate strings (delimited by new line symbols) from the file.
Parameters
The method has the following parameter:
FileName
Remarks
Since LoadFromFile treats new line symbols as string separators, this method does not let you populate the list with strings that contain new line symbols.
If you need to populate the list with strings that contain new line symbols, you can use the following workaround. First, load the file contents to a variable, for example, using the aqFile.ReadWholeTextFile or aqTextFile.ReadAll method. To populate the list of strings, assign the loaded text to the CommaText or DelimitedText property. See these properties descriptions to learn the required text format.
