open and read commands

[Mike Fedkiw]

This helped. I can now read the first line from the text document.

How do I get it to continue though the rest of the .txt document? It is only 
reading the first line.

(txt) returns the text I am looking for and (x) seemed to be the length of 
(txt)


Thank You, Mike
