function  

input-file

 
 

Library: Character encodings, international (OMEFIO)
Include: omefio.xin

Declaration

define external string source function input-file
                value string filename
  exceptions-to value io-exception exceptions-to optional


Purpose

This external string source function reads the file named in the "filename" argument and returns the text of that file.

Arguments:

Example:

  ; Copying a file using "input-file" and "output-file". Note that both these
  ; functions behave the same as the OmniMark file keyword unless they are passed
  ; an "io-exception" object, in which case they allow for I/O errors to occur
  ; without stopping the OmniMark program.
  
  set output-file "myoutput.txt" exceptions-to output-exceptions
   to input-file "myinput.txt" exceptions-to input-exceptions
