Answer 2

You can read text file with File.ReadLine().

WordPad file (.rtf) is a text file.  So, you can read with File.ReadLine().

But Word file (.docx) is zipped text files.  So you need to rename .docx to .zip and unzip the .zip file and get word\document.xml to use File.ReadLine().

Answer 3

I can see this dimension also in the text file?

Answer 4

A text file is a simple text only. There are no properties for FontSize, -Color, etc. These properties you'll have to set from the viewer for the text file (like in GraphicsWindow, Notepad, Browser etc.) To show your text in defined color, size, formating, etc. use Martin's example from above (in GraphicsWindow) resp. as a TextShape (Shapes.AddText) or LDProcess.Start("notepad.exe", txtFile) to open it in Notepad, LDControls.AddBrowser(width, height, ""file:///" + locTxtFile) lets you zoom in/out, or load it into LDControls.AddRichTextBox.

Answer 5

The example of Martin was very clear, the problem is that I have to bring, through a search, the values of a text file in a particular format, and then to print

Answer 6

To read/load the text content(s) of a text file, as well to save the modified text back to (another) text file, see the Methods in the File Class

To modify/format the loaded text to your needs, see the Methods in the Text Class

resp. LDFile Class and/or LDText Class

For printing you can use LDFile.PrintFile and LDUtilities.ShowPrintPreview

Perhaps make a text search (eg. from notepad) in LitDev.xml for 'Print', to see more 'print' related Methods in LitDev extension.

Answer 7

I've tried to see the classes and LDFile LDText, but neither contains a function that allows me to make the change of the size of a character within a text file = (

Answer 8

In a simple textfile you cannot change fontsize. If you use a wordprocessor (e.g. Word) you can change that sort of things:

There is no need to use Small Basic for this!

Answer 9

unfortunately I need the small basic, because I'm creating all programmatically, but I is created in small size, and was wondering if this was possible (somehow) by operations, make a change of font, size, bold etc etc

Answer 10

See LDGraphicsWindow.Print or the print settings of yor printer.

Or other solution: LDControls.RichTextBoxSave to rtfDoc, then open the LDProcess.Start("write.exe", rtfDoc) and press "Print'.

resp. LDProcess.Start("shellCommand", rtfDoc)

where shellCommand is "%ProgramFiles%\Windows NT\Accessories\WORDPAD.EXE" /p  or "..\system32\write.exe" /p    for 'Print' ;

or "%ProgramFiles%\Windows NT\Accessories\WORDPAD.EXE" /pt  resp. ..\system32\write.exe /pt  for 'PrintTo'.

 .. see HKCR\rtffile\shell\print(to)\command

PS: About RichTextBox, LitDev provides a great sample in 'other-samples\RichTextBox.sb'

Answer 11

I agree with Pappa Lapub, rtf is the best way to do simple formatted text, either using Richtextbox or you can actually just output the formatting as text with formatting info.

e.g.

{\rtf1\ansi
{\fonttbl\f0\fswiss Helvetica;}

Save test.rtf.

This is how I create formatted documentation

Answer 12

thanks for the help, but it's not that you can send me a small example? I'm losing the various functions of LitDev

Answer 13

Carmenello, this is a simple sample.  Reference is here.

' simple rich text file editor
path = "c:\Users\Nonki\test.rtf"  ' Please correct folder name for you
GraphicsWindow.BrushColor = "Black"
rtbox = LDControls.AddRichTextBox(600, 380)
LDControls.RichTextBoxLoad(rtbox, path, "False")
Shapes.Move(rtbox, 10, 10)
save = Controls.AddButton("Save", 10, 400)
s12 = Controls.AddButton("12", 100, 400)
s40 = Controls.AddButton("40", 200, 400)
Controls.ButtonClicked = OnButtonClicked
Sub OnButtonClicked
  btn = Controls.LastClickedButton
  If btn = save Then
    LDControls.RichTextBoxSave(rtbox, path)
    LDProcess.Start("wordpad.exe", path)
  ElseIf btn = s12 Then
    LDControls.RichTextBoxSelection(rtbox)
    LDControls.RichTextBoxFontSize = 12
  ElseIf btn = s40 Then
    LDControls.RichTextBoxSelection(rtbox)
    LDControls.RichTextBoxFontSize = 40
  EndIf
EndSub
