Why do you specify using the Report Generation Toolkit to simply read a text file?

I agree with Jim -- I don't understand why you want to use a more complex tool like the RGT (that is designed to produce HTML, Word (.docx), and Excel (.xlsx) documents, and in some cases, can also read these documents) when you are dealing with a file format that is (a) very simple and (b) not a file format "native" to the RGT components.

You mention needing to "extract a particular file name out".  A minor modification of Jim's code will produce an Array of Strings (one string for each line of text) that might facilitate doing string processing by running the Array through a For loop and parsing one line at a time, like this:
