Can RAP read text from a flat file?

rbuser

Am I correct that there is no way to read text from an ASCII text file
using RAP?

Options:


1. Use TStringList

By default RAP knows about the TStringList class.

var
lText: TStringList;
begin
lText := TStringList.Create;
lText.LoadFromFile('c:\myFile.txt');

2. Extend RAP (see article below)

--------------------------------------------------
Article: Extending RAP
---------------------------------------------------

There are two very simple and powerful techniques to extend the capabilities
of RAP infinitely. These are summarized below and covered in more detail in
the RAP.hlp online help. Demos and tutorials are installed to
RBuilder\Demos\RAP. The tutorial text is located in RAP.hlp.


1. RAP Pass-Through Functions

These are functions that appear in the Language tab of RAP's Code Toolbox.
These functions are written in Delphi and can be called from RAP. RAP's
pass-through function architecture enable's developers to add new built-in
functions to RAP's code toolbox.

2. Extend RAP's RTTI

RAP's Run-time Type information defines what classes and properties can be
accessed via RAP. By default the published properties of any class that is
registered with Delphi's RegisterClass procedure is recognized by RAP. In
addition many of the public properties and methods of ReportBuilder classes
are exposed.
