Hi

I published a Module on CPC to read ASCII files years ago.

It can recognise and decode many CP types (REAL, String, INTEGER, BOOLEAN, etc).

I never (*implemented*) the ability to recognise SETs, although that function 
was designed in. By complete coincidence YESTERDAY I needed to read SETs from an 
ASCII file, so completed the missing bit!

Two points worth mentioning.

1 - It does not read the whole file into a BlackBox Text. This means it is 
efficient for reasonably large files. It can comfortably handle much larger 
files than the Obx Converters.Import approach.

2 - The Scanner can be either connected to an ASCII file, or to a BlackBox Text 
(eg the Focus Window) without changing the client code. This is very useful in 
development.

I attach the current Docu file if anyone is interested.

Regards

Robert
