This action reads a resource file and returns its content as a buffer of ASCII characters.

The term "resource file" refers to a file that is considered part of the application's model (and hence stored in the model repository of the Tersus project). A typical usage would be to store in a file some configuration information which is read by the application at initialization.

To read the content of a resource file as a binary stream of data, use Read Binary File.

To read the content of an arbitrary file at runtime (also as a binary stream of data), use Read Resource.

To allow the user to read the content of an arbitrary file at runtime, use the File Input Field display element.
