Description
Reads a line of text from a file.
In Delphi code, the ReadLn procedure reads a line of text and then skips to the next line of the file.
The syntax shown here for ReadLn demonstrates that the procedure can take a variable number of arguments.
ReadLn(F) with no parameters causes the current file position to advance to the beginning of the next line, if there is one; otherwise, it goes to the end of the file.
If F is omitted, the global variable Input is used, which accesses the processes standard input file. The use of Input in GUI applications raises special issues.
Note: {$I+} handles run-time errors using exceptions. When using {$I-}, use IOResult to check for I/O errors.
