FileReader reads space-delimited text files into 2D arrays line by line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For tab delimited files use link::Classes/TabFileReader::. For semi-colon-delimited files use link::Classes/SemiColonFileReader::. For comma-separated files use link::Classes/CSVFileReader::.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Examples::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
code::
|
||
|
|
(
|
||
|
|
// write a test file:
|
||
|
|
f = File("FileReaderTest.sc", "w");
|
||
|
|
f.write(
|
||
|
|
"Some space delimited items in line 1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and then some more with several blanks in line 3
|
||
|
|
"
|
||
|
|

|
