You can read any type of file, I believe, but whether the data will be in a 
type of input to be usable, that's the real question.  Or more bluntly, you 
can, but you don't want to.

this is what the inside of an rtf file looks like in a text editor...

As you vcan see, there is a lot of formatting crap, because rtf stands for 
rich text format.  I believe it was designed to allow word documents to be 
imported and exported between word editors before companies started  
providing APIs. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rtf) 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API)

The words you're looking for are "test".  If you want to put in coding to 
wade through all the extraneous stuff, have fun, but it seems like a waste 
of time to me - have the file created as .txt, or .csv or something that 
would be considered a "flat" file.

PSA: Salary <> Slavery. If you earn a salary, your employer is renting your 
services for 40 hours a week, not purchasing your soul. Your time is the 
only real finite asset that you have, and once used it can never be 
recovered, so don't waste it by giving it away.

I work to live; I don't live to work.

"Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you 
can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people 
spend it for you." -- Carl Sandburg (1878 - 1967)

It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in argument. -- William G. McAdoo

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and 
by the rulers as useful. -- Seneca

Does anyone know if reading RTF file allowed in SQR V. 6.0?
