Example

Sub UserProc;
Var
    f: IFileStream;
    BinRead: IBinaryReader;
    s: String;
Begin
    If File.Exists("c:\BinFile.dat") Then
        f := New FileStream.Create("c:\BinFile.dat", FileOpenMode.Read, FileShare.DenyNone);
        BinRead := New BinaryReader.Create(f);
        s := BinRead.ReadString;
        Debug.WriteLine(s);
        Dispose f;
    End If;

On executing the example it is checked whether if the BinFile.dat file exists. If the file exists, a character string will be read from it. The read value is displayed in the development environment console.
