1. Parsing question...
Heya all!
I'm trying to do a program, and I'm trying to parse a tab-separated
file.
So that I don't reinvent the wheel on myself, has there been any
libraries/includes that aid in parsing comma-separated/tab-
separated files?
TIA,
Blessed Be! --"LEVIATHAN"

Can you give a short example?

Heh, I knew I was probly gonna havta do that :)
example:
health 25 5 14 14 0.0 1.0 0.0 0.75
healthbar 285 239 value 2 1.0 0.0 0.0 1.0
gfx/2d/colorbar.tga
0.2 0

You could look at strtok.e with a readme which i just sent to RDS for the
archives. You
can use it to find/replace/delete tokens in a sequence/string.
I don't know per your example how the users are separated in the data file, or
if each
user has their own file, and i can't see a tab char. Assuming each user has
their own
file, and each line is terminated by a ascii 10, then after reading the file
into filedata,
sequence healthline = gettok(filedata,1,10)
sequence healthbarline = gettok(filedata,2,10)
object healthline_valnum4 = gettok(healthline,4,TheAsciiForTab) = 14
If you put all the datum for all the users into one file, and read it as one
sequence, and
each user has an xml tag, such as <LEVIATHAN> , and you xml'd the rest of the
data
as well, then you could use getxml() to parse the data, altho i don't have a
putxml()
yet, since i didn't need one, sorry. So getxml(filedata,"LEVIATHAN","/",1) would
return
your data, and getxml(filedata,"Kat","/",0) would return {} since i don't have a
data in
your file.
<LEVIATHAN>
<health>25,5,14,14,0.0,1.0,0.0,0.75</health>
<healthbar>285,239,value,2,1.0,0.0,0.0,1.0,gfx/2d/colorbar.tga 0.2,0<healthbar>
</LEVIATHAN>
(I used commas just so i'd have something to see there.)
Then,
yourhealth = getxml(yourdata,"health","/",1")
{25,5,14,14,0.0,1.0,0.0,0.75}
Or, if you parse(yourhealth,',') , it would be:
{"25","5","14","14","0.0","1.0","0.0","0.75"}
so you could do:
energy = 5
sight = 8
seq yourhealthseq[energy] and get the "0.0"
seq yourhealthseq[sight] and get the "0.75"
Which is a fine scheme to avoid the error of getting "gfx/2d/colorbar.tga" into
an
integer, `course, there are other schemes.
