Reading a file from a ComponentLibrary

Jump to solution

I'm having trouble reading a file in a ComponentLibrary.

The file I want to read is in the ComponentLibrary. The code to read the file is also in the Lib.

Doing ReadAsciiFile("pkg:/config/some_file.json") results into an error.

Can component libraries not read from a file?

 

If this is actually a limitation, what other things can't a ComponentLibrary do?
