I am reading a text file line by line -first by opening it:
' open the file for reading
Application.Macros(vbldMacroTemporary).Add "FILE", vbld_FSO().OpenTextFile("%HB_BTS_TEXT_FILE_FULLPATH%")

and then parsing line by line with:
[vbld_TempMacroObj("FILE").ReadLine()]

Problem is the script fails when text file contains something like % as it thinks this is a macro.
So how can I parse line by line such a file containing special chars?

[vbld_EscapeString(vbld_TempMacroObj("FILE").ReadLine())]

Or use the Loop action.
