Read files at Roku - failed ?

Archived
1

Hello

I have this code:
file = CreateObject(“roReadFile”, “temp.txt”)
if type(file) = “roReadFile” then 'The file exists
print " file exists."
text = file.ReadLine()
print "content: "+text
else
print “file NOT exists.”
endif

at ‘videoplayer’ sample application.
The file is located at the root folder of the application, and also at the ‘source’ folder.
But the file object creation is failing (“file NOT exists.”).
( I currently don’t need AtEof() function )

Why is that ?

Thanks

roReadFile isn’t a valid component.
Look at roFileSystem, page 112 of the component reference.

Thanks, I’ll try it.

So another question:
What is the official reference should I look at ?
This:

Or this:

Or else ?

The information on this page for 2.9 -
https://owner.roku.com/Developer/DevHome

And you might want to ask fopr the beta upgrade to 3.0 for the latest features - information found here: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=39272
to make sure stuff you build won’t break in the next release.
