Read position from text file

Yann00
Yann00 over 12 years ago

Hi,

I have to read a text file in my skill program.

My text file is:

X = 40      Y=60

 

It's a position, and i have to read the value to fill a variable in a function, in my SKILL program.

How I can I do please?

Best regards

    Hi Yann00,

     The question is quite confusing, are you refering to getting the content of a text file(.txt) or get information of an existing text in a boardfile?

    If you are refering to an existing text on board file, you can use the following codes.

    note: make sure that layer of thee text is active.

    axlSetFindFilter(?enabled `("noALL" "text") ?onButtons `("noALL" "text")) 

    axlSingleSelectPoint(x:y)

    textDbid =  car(axlGetSelSet())

    variable textDbid contains all anfo of the text. You can noew use different  attributes to extract whatever you need 

    Hope this helps
