You will need to include a get statement inside your loop:

get : input, view : * %Adding ": *" to the end gets the entire line instead of each word.
You also should not be opening the same file over and over unless you close it first (ei. you should not put an open statement in your loop).

That means that went wrong when you tried to open that file (could be caused if the file did not exist in the same folder as your .t file).

Also to output the contents to the screen you do not need to include the file ID. So instead of this code:

var input : int
var view : string
open : input, "brandon.txt", get

loop

exit when eof (input)
get : input, view
put input, view

end loop

close (input)
Should be:

var input : int
var view : string
open : input, "brandon.txt", get

loop

exit when eof (input)
get : input, view
put view %File ID "input" is not needed.

end loop

close (input)
