Strings

What is the best way to take the contents of txt file and place it in a string?
The way I'm trying to do it is not working.

Code:

---

On Error Resume Next
Dim file As String
Dim dirHolder As String
file = App.Path & "\dir.rs"
Open file For Input As #1
Print #1, dirHolder
Close #1

---

I think the error is in using Print. I don't think that is the right command to use there. Please help.

It is appreciated.

Print is for Output. Use Input for Input ;)

Thanks m8!

I'm such a n0ob. :D

Reading them in a single operation is a good idea too. For small things it's not a big deal, but on larger files you could save time.

VB Code:

Dim strBuffer As String
Open "yourfile.txt" For Binary As #1
strBuffer = Space$(LOF(1))
Get #1, 1, strBuffer
Close #1

Thanks Kaverin, I'll keep that in mind.
