Hi All
I’m trying to simply read each line of a .txt file I have. I can’t seem to get the results I want, the script is:
f = openfile “C:\GeoTime.txt”
while not eof f do
(
inputData = filterstring (readLine f) “,”
)
close f
print “Line = “+inputData[1]
my GeoTime.txt simply has 3 lines ( for now ) like this:
Holocene
0
0.01
when I run my script it prints 0.01 for inputData[1] where I expected Holocene…?
Please help, I’m sure I’m doing something stupid!!
Thanks

f = openfile "C:\\GeoTime.txt"
inputData = #() -- define as array
while not eof f do
(
append inputData (filterstring (readLine f) ",")
)
close f
for line in inputData format "%" line
print "Line = "+inputData[1][1]
print "Line = "+inputData[2][1]
print "Line = "+inputData[3][1]
You where constantly overwriting inputData, so I define it as array and append to it, that way when the reading is done, you’re left with an array which you can use to iterate over.
Hope this helps,
