Read a downloaded file

Hi everyone,,

As you certainly know, there's a plugin named "Download" in the "Internet" group.

Very simple to use.

But now... How to READ the downloaded file?

If for exemple I use this plugin to download site.com/file.txt, and I want CC to extract the information contained in that txt document and let me do some comparisons, how do I need to proceed?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Hi Lapstern, if you're just looking to open plain text files you can usually use the File object action: File.LoadFileToString(AppPath & "your file.txt") to load it all into one long string (eg: drop it into a multi-line edit box or something).

That should work for plain text!
