File Stream problem.

[decapitator]

Here is an example of saving/loading an array writing the array is a bit wierd added the main array in another array.
Dont know if its me or maxscript why just print array to:filestream prints each item on a seperate line now, in another script of mine its fine with a bitarray might be different in saving.
(
--saving part
if (doesFileExist "c:/test.txt") == false then --check for file
fs = createFile "c:/test.txt" --create if its not there
else
fs = openFile "c:/test.txt" mode:"w" --else open it mode w for writing

--can be shortened to:
--if (fs = openFile file mode:"w") == undefined do fs = createFile file

somearray = #("item1","item1"); --set random array
print #(somearray) to:fs --print the array to the filestream resource
close fs --close the fs

--loading part
fs = openFile "c:/test.txt" mode:"r" --open file for reading
loadedArray = execute fs --reads the filestream and executes it
close fs --close the filestream

print loadedArray --prints the loaded array
)
Together with the manual this should be enough for you to translate it to your needs.

Thanks for that! I managed to write the array to file and reload it into a new maxscript window.

But the problem i have now is that the reloaded array only contains the first 20 digits. :


#(0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...)

I have 2400 digits in the array altogether. I have tried reading the file using : readDelimitedString, but that did not seem to work.

Is this a problem with the way I am writing the array to file?

Thanks again for the help.

Take a look at http://forums.cgsociety.org/showpost.php?p=5179216&postcount=2 on the part how I read the string, you might have to execute it seperatly then but that seemed to work on larger files acording to him.

Thanks for the help, this seemed to do the trick in the end.

for download:

fs = createfile c:\test.txt

for i in array_01 do
(
print #(i) to: fs
)
close fs

for upload:

fs = openfile "c:/test.txt"
while eof fs == false do
(
w = readline fs
append array_01 (w as integer)
)
close fs
