Hello,
Using IA17...
I get problems reading a file greater than 90kb into a richedit field...
I get chinese characters...
We did it, reading from text file into a variable... Richedit shows $variable$...
Have a look:
When the file is lower 90 kb everything worked fine...
The file-content grows within the time, as it contains log-informations.
Regards

Hello Francesco,
The read-command:
~InstallAware Clipboard Data~
~Read from Text File~
~{9E806E24-0DBE-49DC-8BDA-7516F3ABFC3A}~
~#READALL\$TARGETDIR$\SQL_Server_Modification_$SQLDATABASE$.log~
~var_txt_log~
~SUCCESS~
regards

... in fact, that's the problem.
You can't use READ FROM Text file to read an RTF (BINARY) file.

OK???
Could I know this behavior? If the rtf-file is smaller than 90kb it worked fine...
And...
Messagebox also shows information of the variable, which was filled using "READ FROM TEXTFILE" from the file greater than 90kb.
What is the action alternative to get the log informations on the screen? Any suggestions how to fill a RichEdit-Field?
regards

... I haven't tried with a message box ... but it seems to me really strange due the fact that a MessageBox expects plain text only .
I want to check this.

... the "Read From text file" must be used to acquire a plain text file ONLY (NOT BINARY).
Unless you write a custom component for that, currently there isn't too much to do.

Hello Francesco,
1) the complete log file is plain Text, so the problem is not the reading of the text-file, I think.
2) The RichEdit field is able to show plain-text? When this is the normal behavior of richEdit I do not understand, that when the plain text file is greater than 90 kb the Characters become chinese.
So I use the memo field instead of the RichEdit in the dialog and it worked fine... Without showing chinese characters..
Regards

Yes, it is.
2) The RichEdit field is able to show plain-text? When this is the normal behavior of richEdit I do not understand, that when the plain text file is greater than 90 kb the Characters become chinese.
No, it is not! The RichEdith control requires a Rich Text Format content (often abbreviated RTF - a proprietary document file (BINARY) format).
So I use the memo field instead of the RichEdit in the dialog and it worked fine... Without showing chinese characters..
In fact! the standard MEMO control works with standard plain text contents (NOT BINARY).
Hope this clarify your doubt.
Regards
