Read and process a data file. The path parameter may be absolute, or relative from the current application.

let's say we have a file, crew.txt in our data directory, which is a text file with a list of names, one per line. For example:

Rygel
John
Scorpies
Ka D'Argo

We can read the above file and process each line with the following:

<read-data format="text/plain" path="crew.txt" dst="crew" />
<for src="splitlines:crew" dst="characters">
    <echo>${character} is on board</echo>
</for>
