Notes
- Automation Workshop supports Unicode file names, and path up to 32,000 characters.
- Read file Action automatically detects UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-7, and US-ASCII encodings.
- It is not designed for reading contents of large files into memory. Normally, no more than about 100MB file sizes are recommended; however, files up to 500–1000MB can easily be read, depending on the particular task and computer memory configuration. The upper limit is 4GB for the 64-bit edition.
