Hi,
I am having trouble reading a simple file that was created originally in VisualBasic. Trouble is the file contains both strings and integers. I can type the file from a command prompt, but all attempts to read it line-by -line in Lazarus fails. It seems I cant read a "text" file with a mixture of types. I have included a copy of the file. It is called "saviour.txt" Originally the original basic program created a data file called dvdcat using the record type. Initially, I copied the original record type into lazarus, but it also didn't work, yet I got a Ada program to read it. I have also included those files as well. I would be very grateful if anyone could provide some assistance.
