Readfile in Temp_Dir

[kpassaur]

This makes no sense to me

I create a text file in the %TEMP_DIR% and I can execute it and it contains text, however if I read it, there is nothing there.

ExecuteFile>%TEMP_DIR%test.txt
ReadFile>%TEMP_DIR%test.txt,testtext

In the debugger it comes back as TESTTEXT=


Now if I take this same file, move it to C:\test.txt and read it the variable testtext is read

Any ideas?

The same code works for me (with test.txt in my temp folder).

Maybe we need to see the rest of your code.

Or maybe something else is writing to test.txt in your temp folder, preventing the ReadFile from working.

What happens with a ReadLn - what is returned?

Or perhaps the Watchlist is not properly displaying the text file. Do you see any results if you display the result variable in a modal message?

MDL>TESTTEXT

Or make the watchlist wider ....

Marcus,

You hit the nail on the head. It was there not blank. Before it was not finding the file (I fixed that) and then it showed as blank and I thought nothing was there which did not make sense.

So I moved the file and showed it in a message box, I did not try in a message box from the origional as I saw nothing in the watch list.

Thanks
