how to have a LIST in MACRO PAUSE

[Anonymous]

Hello, 

I needed to give some information to the user. As i want to ask what time of part he will be machining for later apply a correct macro. 

I was wondering how to use a LIST and use it in a Macro Pause 

Something like this: 

STRING LIST $tipos_eletrodos = {}

FILE OPEN 'C:\dcam\tipos_eletrodos.txt' FOR READ AS tipos_eletrodos
	FILE READ $tipos_eletrodos FROM tipos_eletrodos
FILE CLOSE tipos_eletrodos

MACRO PAUSE $tipos_eletrodos

The problem is that i get a error message saying: "#ERROR: Parameter cannot be represented by a string"

Any ideias on how to solve this ? 

Thank you,

Try this:

STRING tiposEl = ""
STRING LIST $tipos_eletrodos = {}

FILE OPEN 'C:\dcam\tipos_eletrodos.txt' FOR READ AS tipos_eletrodos
	FILE READ $tipos_eletrodos FROM tipos_eletrodos
FILE CLOSE tipos_eletrodos

FOREACH listElement IN tipos_eletrodos {
	$tiposEl = $tiposEl + CRLF + $listElement
}

MACRO PAUSE $tiposEl
