Copying info from a .TXT file

I need to copy an IP address from a txt file that is stored on the master. Any links that would explain this much appreciated, my search has so far been fruitless.
Thanks

Text file operations are covered in Exercise 7 of the CP232 instructor led course. We are working on capturing this course in an On Demand series and expect it to be available shortly. I presume you will receive code suggestions from forum posters before this goes live, but I would encourage you to check out the CP231 On Demand course once it is released.
OK thanks
Check the help file for FILE_OPEN, FILE_READ_LINE, FILE_CLOSE, etc. Those functions give you what you need to open a file with a file handle, read lines from it, and close the file handle.
do NOT forget to close your files when you are done.
