I find it annoying that [text] (and jit.textfile) read a file only if its name ends with .txt - there are plenty of other extensions used for basically ascii text files.

Hi there,
I find it annoying that [text] (and jit.textfile) read a file only if its name ends with .txt - there are plenty of other extensions used for basically ascii text files.
Anybody would have a workaround?
Thanks for any tip!

For ascii text, you can use [filein] in combination with [atoi].

Thanks for your help. [filein], of course. And I thought opendialog wouldn't have worked, but it does - should have tried first!

Workaround to have [text] read files other than .txt?
