$file = FileOpen("test.txt", 0)
$ch = FileReadline($file, 1)
GUICtrlRead($Edit,GUICtrlSetData(-1,$ch)& @LF )
FileClose($ch)

Try something like this:

$txt = FileRead($file_name, FileGetSize($file_name))
GUICtrlSetData($Edit,$txt)

Try something like this:

$txt = FileRead($file_name, FileGetSize($file_name))
GUICtrlSetData($Edit,$txt)

thank you for your help your example did not work for me but i did get it to work like this

$file= FileOpen("test.txt", 0)
$txt = FileRead($file,100000000)
GUICtrlSetData($Edit,$txt)
FileClose($ch)

I expected, you put name of file into variable $file_name:

$file_name = "test.txt"
$txt = FileRead($file_name, FileGetSize($file_name))
GUICtrlSetData($Edit,$txt)

OR

$txt = FileRead("test.txt", FileGetSize("test.txt"))
GUICtrlSetData($Edit,$txt)

Just a quick note. A better programming practice is to follow the advice of the FileGetSize() function as your size to read, because eventually the file may exceed your reading abilities. It is just safer and a better programming practice. I just wanted to mention that, incase you havent already added it to your working script.
