Reads an Integer from file and returns it. The function will read as much of the text as can be interpreted as an integer , but will stop at a decimal point, or any other character that cannot be construed as being part of an integer . If the line begins with a character that is not part of an integer value, the results are unpredictable.
Alternatives for reading data from text files include the functions ReadLinesFromFile() and ReadSimpleDataFile(), the TextFile design , and the ADO.NET library.
