hi all,
can i import a txt file into an xpresso expression? (coffee node ?)
the txt file has 5 colums of text (code, name, rgb values)
and i want to extract each column of text.
(i think it's called "array" in visual basic).

i am working on a ral2rbg colour converter
and that would save me a lot of typing.

Hi!

hi donelgreeko,
i have successfully loaded the xpression + the txt file with ral2rgb values.
my problem is what to actually do with the txt file (!).
(due to inexperience, of course).
i added a user data value with "ral code notation" (i.e ral 9006, etc.)
and i want to match the ral code notation (user data)
with the text line of the txt file that contains the ral code notation & rgb values,
so i can extract the rgb values into a used data color field.

ps: i did the ral2rgb converter the hard way, with a lot of typing.
i'll check if these values are correct and i'll post it soon.

Hi :)

Yeah, in this case, you have to work with c.o.f.f.e.e. Load it in a coffee string and search in the SDK for "compare" or something like this. Or you try something like this.


for(i=0;i<strlen(text);i++)
{
something like this.
you try the each char with "is it the same or not"
}
