How do I output the contents of a .TXT file?

[dennis_tort]

* I'm using Borland C++ for series 60.

* I've created an application with 3 Menus (1. HELLOWORLD, 2. MESSAGE, 3. EXIT)

* choosing the HELLOWORLD menu displays the universal "Hello world!" message

* but in choosing MESSAGE menu, I was hoping to have the contents of a .TXT file displayed. (The .TXT file is located in a folder in the phone)

* below is part of the code found in the .cpp, the one that handles the menu commands (based on hello world example)

**********************

void CHelloWorldAppUi::HandleCommandL(TInt aCommand)
{
switch(aCommand)
{
case EEikCmdExit:

case EAknSoftkeyExit:
Exit();
break;

case EHelloWorldCommand1:
{
_LIT(message,"Hello!");
CAknInformationNote* informationNote =
new (ELeave) CAknInformationNote;
informationNote->ExecuteLD(message);
}
break;

case EMessageCommand1:
{

/* This part would display the contents of a .txt file which is located in the phone in a certain folder. The program would open it from there and display its contents. */

/* Actually I would have wanted that the text file is located in a computer. Then the phone application would access the text file using Bluetooth. Then it would download it in a folder in the phone, then display its contents. But i guess my former inquiry would be okay for now =) */

}
break;

default:
Panic(EHelloWorldBasicUi);
break;
}

For reading the file you could use RFile or RFileReadStream classes, so example code, just search this forum, there should be plenty of samples there.

For displaying the file on the screen, see edwin example in the SDK. Sample of how to use CEikEdwin & related classes should also be found from this forum.
