hello;

I am using Delphi 2 and trying to read a simple test file a line at a time. I
have written the code (see below) as outlined in the hlpe files and manual.
but the problem occurs that whenever i try to run the program I get an error
at the "Reset(R):" line saying missing operator or colon!.. i cannot figure
out what i am doing wrong or how to correct this. I hope someone can help.
procedure..... var R :TextFile; name : string; begin  AssignFile(R,
'drivers.txt');  Reset(R);  Readln (R,name);  dr1name.Caption := name;
Readln (R,name);  dr2name.Caption := name;  Readln (R,name);  dr3name.Caption
:= name;  CloseFile(R); end;

thanks Greg Hounsell PS I wrote to this file on another form with no probs
usng the same basic format but with proper coding of course :)

Try using a stringlist in stead of what you've writting so far.

mystrings:=tstringlist.create;
mystrings.loadfromfile(yourfilename);

and you've read your file !
