Text.ImportFromFile

Sub ImportFromFile(FileName As String, StartIndex As Long, [IndexingType As cdrTextIndexingType = cdrCharacterIndexing])

Member of Text

The ImportFromFile method inserts the contents of a text file into a text block at specified position.


Parameters	Description
FileName	Specifies the full path and filename of the file to import
StartIndex	Specifies the position of the inserted text file
IndexingType	Specifies the type of text to be indexed in the StartIndex parameter . The indexing type can be character, word, or paragraph, and the IndexingType parameter returns a value of cdrTextIndexingType. This parameter is optional, and its default value is cdrCharacterIndexing (0).

The following code example saves the second-to-fifth paragraphs to a text file, and it then inserts the text at the beginning of the text block:

Sub Test() 
 ActiveShape.Text.ExportToFile "C:\Temp.txt", 2, 4, 
cdrParagraphIndexing 
 ActiveShape.Text.ImportFromFile "C:\Temp.txt", 1, 
cdrParagraphIndexing 
End Sub
