I am drawing a blank and I did not find what I was looking for with  a quick 
search in Help. 



It seems that one can or should be able to load a simple text file into a 
variable, without having 

to load the file into a table first.  (I know how to do that) 



I have a simple text file that will contain a number that is generated by a PLC 
. 

The data will simply be a number with two decimals such as  : 



172.35 



I want to load this value  into a variable, but would like to do so directly 
and not load a table, then 

set the variable to the column value and then delete the value, etc. etc. . 



I.E. something like : 

Set var X = (1,['test.dat']) 



So again, I can load a table, I am looking to load directly into a variable. 



Thanks, 



-Bob
