Read content of a stored file

Hi there,



I'm trying to read the content of a file which for my purposes has to be stored in the project.



Now the thing is it woudn't actually read it saying "Type mismatch" (which is a bit ridiculous since I'm storing a file and trying to read a file)



var storedFileContent = aqFile["ReadWholeTextFile"](storedFile, aqFile["ctUTF8"]);



Any suggestions?



Thanks in advance,

Leandro

    Hi Leandro,



    What value does the storedFile variable have? It must be the path to the file on the disk.



    If your file is in Stores > Files, you can get its path like this:



    var storedFile = Files["FileNameByName"]("mystoredfile");



    If the file is in the project folder, you can use the following:



    var storedFile = Project["Path"] + "filename.txt";
