Read from Text File (G Dataflow)

Custom message in the title bar of the file dialog box that appears when you do not wire a value to file path.

The file that this node reads.

This input can be a reference to a file or an absolute file path. The node opens the specified file without requiring you to call Open/Create/Replace File first.

If you specify an empty path, a relative path, or a path to a non-existent file, this node returns an error.

Default: No value — Displays a file dialog box that prompts you to select a file.

The maximum number of bytes the function reads.

This node reads fewer bytes if it reaches the end of file first. If count is <0, the function reads the entire file, unless the number of bytes is too large to be represented by a 32-bit integer. In such a case, this node returns an error.

Note  

Strings are encoded in UTF-8. In most cases, the number of bytes in a string is equivalent to the number of characters. However, for strings containing the characters U+0080 through U+7FFFFFFF, the number of bytes is greater than the number of characters.

Default: The total number of bytes in the file.

Error conditions that occur before this node runs. The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Default: No error

A reference to the file that this node uses.

The string read from the file.

A Boolean value that indicates whether the user cancelled the dialog box that appears if no input file was wired to this node.

Default: False

Error information. The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
