function FileToString(const FileName: TFileName): AnsiString;
Parameters
| Parameters | Description |
| const FileName: string | Full qualified name of the file whose contents to read. |
Return Value
The contents of the file as a string buffer. Note that if the file contains null terminating characters, the string will contain the entire contents but for example displaying the string will only show the part of the string up to the first null terminator.
Description
The FileToString routine reads the contents of the specified file into a string and returns it as the function result. Note that the function doesn't care about the contents of the file, it simply treats the string as a buffer and copies the entire file contents into it.
