How to open a ".txt" document in the Turing Execution Window.

-----------------------------------

You might ask your self this question... 
 
How do I open and view a .txt (text) document? 
 
        Okay, so... if you are in a hurry and quickly in-need of a way to open and read a text document without exploring the Tutorials and understanding how it works, you are at the right link. 
 


Here is the Turing Code:



setscreen ("text")  
    % Variables needed to open the ".txt" document.
    var stream : int
    var Line : string

    % This procedure opens the file (The file is located in the same directory as this program).
    open : stream, "NameOfFile.txt", get

% Displays every line in the ".txt" document
    loop
        exit when eof (stream)
        get : stream, Line : *
        put Line
    end loop

% Closed the file
    close : stream


NOTE: make sure that the above code is not in a "loop" or "for" statement or else the file will not be displayed.
