Hello, I am trying to read a string in from a file and display it on a page variable. Unfortunately, it only shows up as a FileObject. I tried to use a toString() to cast it to text, but I still get "FileObject" when I try to display the "anotherpage" variable below. Can an anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Code:

var textObj = OpenFile("pagename.txt")
textObj.ReadLine(false)


anotherpage = textObj.toString()

You need to read the contents of the file into a variable and display that on screen.


var textObj = OpenFile("pagename.txt")
myString = textObj.ReadLine(false)

//then display the myString variable on screen in your textbox.

Thank you very much. I was at the point where I really needed another pair of eyes. I was too close to see that the readline was going nowhere!

Again, thanks a million!
