Hi
FI is only a reference to a file. It does not contain the contents of
that file. To access the contents of the file you must first open the
file , then read in the data contained in the file. (It's a good idea to
verify that the file exists, etc.) Something like:
Dim FI as FolderItem
Dim fileText As String
Dim inStream As TextInputStream
FI = GetFolderItem("Txt1")
If(FI <> Nil AND FI.Exists) Then
inStream = FI.OpenAsTextFile
fileText = inStream.ReadAll
.
.
g.DrawString fileText, ...
.
.
EndIf
FolderItem and TextInputStream in the LR have more info. Look at
TextOutputStream for writing back to the file.
