In this workflow, we will demonstrate the process of reading a text file named "ReadTextFiledemo.txt" located on the computer and displaying its contents in a message box.
The contents of the text file are as follows:
First, drag and drop the **"Read Text File"activity from "Core" > "File" into the Designer panel.
Next, set the text file to be read in the Properties panel. Enter the following path in the File Name field.
Next, create a String-type variable named "text" to store the read text. You can create the variable using Ctrl + K or other methods. (*For details on creating variables, refer to "Creating Variables")
After creating the variable, set it in the "Output" > "Text" property.
Next, drag and drop the "Message Box" activity into the Designer panel.
After placing the activity, set the variable "text" in the "Input" > "Text"
Now, let's run the workflow to verify its functionality. Click "Home > Start" or press F5 to execute the workflow.
