Line Reader Parser

The Line Reader Parser reads single lines of data. The line read is returned in a single attribute. There is also an attribute named linenumber that contains the line number, starting with 1.

Use the Line Reader Parser if we want to copy a text file only. If we want to copy a binary file, see the FTP Object Example for an example of how to copy a binary file.

The Line Reader Parser is useful when reading text files only.
