[Gambas-user] don't know how to read

[Jochen Georges]

hello 

but i got an error message:
type mismatched, wanted file, got string instead

but the encyclopedeia sais:
------------------------------------
READ variable [, legth]
reads the standard output as binary data whose type is given by the 
type of the variable ...
if variable is a string ...
------------------------------------
_and_

READ file [,length]
------------------------------------


the code that throws the error:
PRIVATE inttext AS String

PUBLIC SUB _new()
   intext = "hello"
END

PUBLIC SUB Button1_Click()
  outtext = Read(intext)
END



thanks for any hint


beste gruesse
