Problems with "Read From Text File"

Postby alibaba » Mon Aug 26, 2013 6:05 am

Hi,

if I use "Read From Text File" function to read a file I get the error that after reading the first line contains strange symbols. The file to read is ANSI and it starts with following line:

# application startup properties

after writing the line back to file ("Write into Text File") it contains the following:

# application startup properties

Our application has problems reading that file. And I am modifiing the file only in line 4 and 5. What can I do to avoid this bug?

Best regards!

Dear Alibaba,

have you tried with adding an empty string at the very beginning of your text file?

Hi Francesco,

I solved the problem by directly editing the file, without reading and writing it back. But this was always working until IA 16 or 17.
