Hi Jenny!
You have to insert something like that into your W-B-P-trigger:
DECLARE
in_file TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE; f_eof boolean:=FALSE; linebuf VARCHAR2(1024):=NULL; BEGIN :block.multiline_textfield:=NULL; in_file := TEXT_IO.FOPEN('/home/usr/file.txt','r'); LOOP BEGIN TEXT_IO.GET_LINE(in_file, linebuf); f_eof:=FALSE; EXCEPTION WHEN others THEN f_eof:=TRUE; END; exit when f_eof; :block.multiline_textfield:=:block.multiline_textfield||CHR(10)||linebuf; END LOOP; TEXT_IO.FCLOSE(in_file);
END; aloha
