# DATAFILE DATASTRING

Syntax

Datastring$ = DATAFILE DATASTRING ( FileId, MaxBytes )

Description

This function will attempt to read up to the number of bytes specified and return them in a string. Please note that if you attempt to read data that contains null bytes that you may not get the results that you expect due to the way that DBPro strings operate, however the full data is read into the string and can be accessed beyond the null bytes by using raw memory access (e.g. PEEK BYTE).
