GetFolderItemText(path As String, optional pathmode As Integer) As String

Returns the contents of a textfile.

Using this GetFolderItemText on OSX, one can only access files inside of the sandbox container.

If the first parameter path contains only a filename (without any slash character "/"), then the document will be looked up in the Documents folder.

On OSX this would be the documents folder inside of the sandbox container.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
path	String	Filename of a textfile whose contents will be retrieved. If a filename is given without a path, then the path to the documents folder will be added. The textfile will be searched insided of the documents folder. On OSX the Documents folder is inside of the Seminar.pro application sandbox. Example for a path to file test.txt inside of the sandboxed Documents container on OSX: /Users/user1/Library/Containers/com.osswald.pro.seminar/Data/Documents/test.txt
Pathmode	Integer	PathTypeAbsolute = 0 PathTypeShell = 1 PathTypeURL  = 2 PathTypeNative  = 3  // DEFAULT value. On OSX: path separated by slashes If no Pathmode parameter is given, then PathTypeNative will be used automatically.

Returns:

Type	Value	Description
String	Contents of textfile	Any readable contents of a textfile is returned.
