  See C:\Program Files (x86)\FastReports\FastReport 4\Demos\PrintFile folder and ask in FR ticket system instead of youtube

  I would like to read a text file eg test.txt to FR.

  You may read txt file using the idea below:

  var
      MyStr   :TStringList;                                               
  begin
      MyStr := TStringList.Create();                                                                             
      MyStr.LoadFromFile( 'c:\temp\anyfile.txt');
      ShowMessage( MyStr.text);                                                             
  end.

  Ok, thanks.
  This example shows how to load the entire file into a single object Memo. And how to load to several objects Memo different words from a text file? Of course, how to extract words from a file is known to me. I mean just like these words to redirect to specific objects Memo. Thanks.

  If you already have your file(s) written then you must convert it by your own code (compiler of FR scirpt).
  If you only plan to use a file that you're going to construct then have a look at TIniFile Class - you'll find there o lot of usefull functions.

  I have two objects of type TString in the main program.

  String a = "ala";
  String b = "ola"
  

  How do it to make these two words show in FR? Thanks.

  I guess you need to pass a value of variable from the compiled program to FR script.
  If so then search this forum for pass variable.

  I do not know if I want to send to the FR script. I know that I want to compile my program and see those words in FR [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> I found something like this on forum:[/img]

  frxReport1->Script->AddVariable("WPath", "String", "c:\windows");
  frxReport1->Script->Variables["Test"] = "test";
  

  But how to connect with Memo in FR?
  
  Or something like that:

  if ( Component != NULL )
      Memo = static_cast<TfrxMemoView*>(frxReport1->FindObject("Memo3"));
    else return;
     
    Memo->Text = "test";
  
    frxReport1->ShowReport(true);
  

  Is it called walking on thin ice?

  and if you are trying to pass values in from your program read the programmers manual
  you can pass values into the report variables after the report is loaded and before calling showreport or prepare report or you can use the findobjectmethod and pass it to the memo, or you can use the ongetvalue event
  or you can use the onbeforeprint event of the tfrxreport component.

  I applied ongetvalue event. How to specify a memo sent to the values?

  int count = frxReport1->AllObjects->Count;
  for(int i = 0; i < count; ++i)
  {
      if ( Memo->Name.Pos("Memo") != NULL ) 
             Value = "Test" + IntToStr(i);
  }
  

  In this example, the same data are entered into all fields Memo. How to write different data to different Memo?

  that is due to the fact that you are
  1 stripping the name of the memo and
  2 you are not using the ogv event properly.
  using the ogv event requires a variable with no set value to be placed in a memo using[] to denote an expression
  that needs to be calculated ie, [myvar1] [myvar2]
  the code for the ongetvalue event handler is triggered when ever these variables are encountered by the report engine. Your code will use the name of the variable not the memo.
  here is a delphi sample you should be able to convert to c.
  procedure TForm1.frxReport1GetValue(const VarName: String;
  
  var Value: Variant);
  
  begin
  
  if CompareText(VarName, 'myvar1') = 0 then
  
  Value := 'test';
  
  if CompareText(VarName, 'myvar2') = 0 then
  
  Value := 'test2'
  
  
  
  end;

  Thanks.
