How can you load a text file into a text area? Ive looked and cant find any info.

Thanks

First use OpenFile. Then use a combination of ReadLine and AddTextAreaText. Then CloseFile.

Basically the program is more like a notepad editor.

Thanks soja, but could you or anyone provide a little more detail for me. Thanks.

while not eof(f)
r$=readline(f)
addTextAreaText(my_text_area,r)
