I am trying to read an HTML file with TextReader, using code modified from a post in this forum :

B4X: 
Sub ReadTextReader
    Dim TextRd As TextReader 
    TextRd.Initialize(File.OpenInput(File.DirAssets, "Register.html"))
        Dim line As String 
    line = TextRd .ReadLine     
    page_registre = line
    Do While line <> Null             
        line = TextRd .ReadLine 
        page_registre = page_registre + line
    Loop 
    TextRd .Close
End Sub

page_registre is a string declared in globals.

When I run this, I get the error below. Is TextReader expecting numerical values ? Confused.

Error occurred on line: 335 (Main)

Will appreciate some insight.

I think that this is the problem:
page_registre = page_registre + line
it should be, string concatenation:
page_registre = page_registre & line
if page_registre and line represent numbers as strings and you want to add these numbers you could use, but for me not good practice:
page_registre = (page_registre + line)
