I am drawing a blank and I did not find what I was looking for with a quick search in Help.
It seems that one can or should be able to load a simple text file into a variable, without having to load the file into a table first. (I know how to do that) I have a simple text file that will contain a number that is generated by a PLC . The data will simply be a number with two decimals such as : 172.35 I want to load this value into a variable, but would like to do so directly and not load a table, then set the variable to the column value and then delete the value, etc. etc. . I.E. something like : Set var X = (1,['test.dat']) So again, I can load a table, I am looking to load directly into a variable. Thanks, -Bob
