Wow that post came in pretty late didn’t it!
Nebille you would use any of these methods in the filestream section of the help depending on how your source data is formatted. The whole point of a CSV document is that each piece of data is seperated by a particular string , a comma in this case so you can use readdelimtitedstring. If you can read a line at a time then use readline instead.
Have a good read in the help so you have a good understanding of how the different commands work.
If you’re reading x, y, z, data you could and your data looks like:
0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0,
you could:
pos=#()
f=openfile "myfile.txt"
while not eof f do
(
x=(readelimitedstring f ",")
y=(readelimitedstring f ",")
z=(readelimitedstring f ",")
append pos [x,y,z]
)
close f
[0,0,0]
[0,0,0]
you could:
pos=#()
f=openfile "myfile.txt"
while not eof f do
(
append pos (readline f)
)
close f

thanks j
i was using the readline method
cheers for the codes , its always interesting to see how other people code.

i personaly also like the filterString command
if you say somethin like
filterString “xInfo,yInfo,zInfo” “,”
it will re turn
#(“xInfo”,“yInfo”,“zInfo”)
then you can just treat it like an array.
not that any of the other ways are bad, i just realy like filterstring.
