Load the contents of a stream as a series of strings.

## Declaration

Source position: classesh.inc line 746

`public procedure TStrings.LoadFromStream(`
`Stream: TStream`
`); virtual; overload; procedure TStrings.LoadFromStream(`

`IgnoreEncoding: Boolean`
`); overload; procedure TStrings.LoadFromStream(`
`Stream: TStream;`
`AEncoding: TEncoding`
`); virtual; overload;`

## Description

LoadFromStream loads the contents of Stream into the stringlist. Each line in the stream (as marked by the end-of-line marker of the particular OS the application runs on) becomes one string in the stringlist. This action replaces the contents of the stringlist, it does not append the strings to the current content.
