DLMREADBAR

Read ASCII delimited file showing a waitbar.

Description

RESULT= DLMREADBAR(FILENAME,MESSAGE) reads numeric data from the ASCII delimited file FILENAME showing the progress through a progress bar. The delimiter in the ASCII file is guessed by DLMREADBAR. The MESSAGE will be shown in the progress bar, together with the estimated time left (in seconds). The result is returned in RESULT.
  
RESULT= DLMREADBAR(FILENAME) shows a standard MESSAGE field where the FILENAME and the estimated time left will appear.

The function is suitable for huge ASCII files. A CANCEL button is available to interrupt the loading process. In that case an empty RESULT is returned.
