To use Read() like that, Standard Pascal (and AFAIK Delphi) expects data values separated by white space (Space characters, and maybe Tab characters, haven't tried that). Commas are interpreted as extraneous character data that prevents reading the values as-is. So, expanding your example a little, some code like: var Var1, Var2, Var3: Integer; F: TextFile; // "File" is a reserved word in Pascal begin AssignFile(File, 'test.txt'); Reset(File); ReadLn(File, Var1, Var2, Var3); will work with lines like: 10 20 30 100 1000 10000 but will choke on: 10,20,30 100, 1000, 10000 Now, many dialects of BASIC include a facility to read comma delimited input using the INPUT command, which may be what you're recalling. > For me I'd readln then parse myself - more control and more control I could > get like BillG :) > > Not sure if you can cast a memorystream as a filestream > be nice if you could TMemoryStream has LoadFromFile/SaveToFile methods which achieves a lot of the same thing.
