Writes a file's contents to an array
int sm_fio_f2a(char *file_name, char *array_name);
file_name- The name of the file to read.
array_name- The name of a Panther widget.
sm_fio_f2awrites the contents of a file to an array. All previous text in the array is overwritten. If the array belongs to a synchronized scrolling group, the data of other members in the group is unaffected.Panther attempts to write each line in the file to a single occurrence. If any line is too long for its target occurrence, Panther breaks the line and writes the overflow text to the next occurrence. If the array contains too few occurrences to read the entire file,
sm_fio_f2adiscards the excess text.
proc file2array()
vars fileName, retErr
/* get file name sent from previous dialog */
receive DATA fileName
/* put file's contents into array*/
retErr = sm_fio_f2a(fileName, "comments")
if retErr != 0
{
call io_errproc(retErr)
}
return
