Hi !
It seems to be not possible to use an incbin file with openfile ? it seems not work here :

note 'end.txt' is an classic text file edited with notepad.

Incbin "media/end.txt"
Local f:TStream
f = OpenFile ("incbin::media/end.txt")
If f = Null Then RuntimeError ("not work !")

Could you correct me !
Thanks !

LoadText() should work.

Note, you'll also have to import RamStream if you are using Framework...

Thanks Brucey for this command, but with it how to extract the data (to read line by line the file) ? Is it a stream ? Is there an example somewhere (nothing into the bmax documentation) ?

from my previous code :

While Not Eof(f)
t$ = ReadLine (f)
Wend

ok i've just updated my code to parse/read a return string. Thanks for your help Brucey !

ReadFile should work. OpenFile may not because it permits both reading and writing. I'm quite sure you won't be able to write to Incbin files.

"ReadFile should work"
This is true. Thanks Gfk.
