Text Loader

This action is used to load a text file that can be loaded from a URL or file reference. The string content that represents the HTML is assigned to a property. Some requests for HTML require authentication, so there are optional properties that pass user name and password credentials to a request.

Features

The properties for this action are listed in the following table:

Property	Data Type	Access	Use
SourceURL	String	In and out	Controls the URL that loads the text file. It can be a Web URL such as http://www.server.com/MyFile.txt or a file-based URL such as C:\Reports\MyFile.txt. We recommend that you use Web-based requests, which increases application portability and simplifies administration. Use forward slashes (/) in Web URLs. A backslash (\) represents an escape character.
Timeout	Integer	In and out	Controls the amount of time in seconds the action waits for a response from the load request.
StringContent	String	Out	Contains the content of the loaded text file. If the load attempt fails, it contains an empty string.
Success	Boolean	Out	Indicates whether the text file load request succeeded or failed. If it failed, errors are displayed in the server trace log.
