<h1>ReadFloat (filehandle/stream)</h1>
<h1>Parameters</h1>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
filehandle/stream = a valid variable set with the OpenFile, ReadFile command,  or OpenTCPStream (v1.52+) The value returned is a floating point number.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<h1>Description</h1>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
Once you've opened a disk file (or stream) for reading, use this command  to read a single floating point number from the file. Note, each value written  uses 4 bytes of space. Reading beyond the end of file does not result in an  error, but each value read will be zero.

<br />

<br />
Streams can only be used in Blitz Basic v1.52 or greater.
