ReadFile Method

Loads an RSS file into the component.

Syntax

rss.readFile(fileName, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method loads an RSS file and attempts to parse it, filling in the properties as it goes. The feed properties can be accessed either directly through the named properties, or through the GetProperty and SetProperty methods.
