Aramos,

Make your table and assign values like below:

tMyTable = {128,129,258,685};

or like this below:

tMyTable = {};
tMyTable[1] = 128;
tMyTable[2] = 129;
tMyTable[3] = 258;
tMyTable[4] = 685;

In the above, the table is named tMyTable. The small "t" indicates it is a table and differentiates with other variables.

So if you want to insert values into a table like that from anywhere such as a Text File, you use this : tMyTable = Text.ReadToTable ();

This example takes a Text File that has several lines of data, and each line ONE data only. Then it will assign each line to a ListBox.


-- Read the contents of a text file to a table.
tContents = TextFile.ReadToTable("AutoPlay\\Docs\\test1.txt");
nRow =Table.Count(tContents);

-- Add item to ListBox
if tContents then
for i,sValue in tContents do
sText = sValue;
sData = sValue;
ListBox.AddItem("ListBox1", sText, sData);
end
else
Dialog.Message("Notice", "NOTHING IN TEXT FILE", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
end



As you can see in the above, each readable variable value in sValue can be assigned to any new variables for use for any objects in your AMS page.

Try it. Hope this is useful.

Sorry missed something in the function. Should be:
tMyTable = TextFile.ReadToTable();
