ReadSizedArray()
Summary
Reads a group of strings from a text file.
Syntax
result = ReadSizedArray(file fptr, integer n)
| Argument | Contents |
|---|---|
| fptr | A file handle |
| n | Number of strings to be read |
Returns
An array of n strings.
Notes
-
ReadSizedArray() reads each line in the text file as a single string. That is, if n is 5, ReadSizedArray() reads the next five lines of the file and returns an array of five strings.
-
Zero length strings (e.g., a blank line in the input file) are represented as null elements in the array.
