Import data from a text file

[StealthFD]

OK, another new guy question:

Is there a function like INIFile.GetValue that can do the same thing with a text file?

I need to read a text file and put a version and build date into variables.

The contents in the text file are always different but someplace in the first 2-15 lines are the following text:

Version 4.2.2148
Build Date Thursday, March 25, 2004 12:40 PM

Should I just read the file looking for "Version " and capture everything to the end of line and store that.... then repeat to search for "Build Date "? Or is there a better way?

** The goal - Display the Version Number and Build date of the software within the CD. AMS5.0 being used as a Front End to launch other installations - The software installation folder always contains a vernfo.txt file that contains that data.

Looking for some experienced opinions here. Thanks!

Hi. Either of the TextFile.Read actions (to string or table) will work great to grab that info. The help file has examples of both...
