Example

Sub Main;

Var

File1: IFileInfo;

BinR: IBinaryReader;

MStream: IMemoryStream;

i: Integer;

s: String;

Begin

MStream:=New MemoryStream.Create;

File1:=New FileInfo.Attach("c:\Work\1.dat");

If File1.Exists Then

BinR:=File1.OpenBinaryReader;

For i:=0 To File1.Size-1 Do

MStream.WriteByte(BinR.Stream.ReadByte);

End For;

s:=MStream.ToString;

End If;

Dispose File1;

Dispose MStream;

End Sub Main;

After executing this example, content of the file 1.dat is read into the stream MStream and the "s" variable contains stream content converted to a string mode.
