Problem with reading file.

[xXziroXx]

I encountered a problem when trying to read a file with loadLines.. or well, the same thing worked one day earlier and I havent touched it.


Heres how the file looks like:

PHP Code:

"White Pants",1,Pants,White,0,0,0 
 Sacks,1,Sacks,0,0,0,0 


and its named xXziroXx_items.arc. Here's how I try to read it, along with what it returns:

PHP Code:

temp.items.loadLines(temp.folder @ player.account @ "_items.arc");

temp.items echoes:

Sacks,"White Pants" 


I asked Skyld about it, and he did not know what could be wrong. I tried restarting the NPC-Server and /refreshfilelist but none worked. He suggested I post it on the forum so that Stefan can see it.

Need help asap.

Are you saving vars or just lines? If you're saving vars use

object.savevars("folderPlace", type);

loading them use

object.loadvars("folderPlace", type);

If you're not using save/loadvars, why're you using loadlines?

I use loadLines because it works exactly like I need it to work. And you missed where I wrote:

"the same thing worked one day earlier and I havent touched it."

I would guess there is some other code between the loadlines and echo? If you just do loadlines and echo it should display more

[xXziroXx]

There's not. The row below the loadLines was the echo().

You could make the arc file look like:

PHP Code:

Item1="White Pants",1,Pants,White,0,0,0 
Item2=Sacks,1,Sacks,0,0,0,0 


I dunno if it is that you are trying to do, but if it was like that, you could use loadvars

Yes, I could do that, but at the moment I dont. Stefan, any thoughts on what the problem is?

The only thing I see that it don't load arrays with load lines,
so maybe making it like:

PHP Code:

"White Pants":1:Pants:White:0:0:0 
 Sacks:1:Sacks:0:0:0:0 


and then use obj.tokenize( ":");

only thing I can think of..

(loadlines don't like comma's I think )

What part of it all working fine a day ago did you all miss? Not me, not Skyld, not anyone Ive asked know why its not working. Might have anything to do with the NPC-Server being mysteriously offline when I logged on RC today?

Like I said, I do NOT know why it STOPPED working all the sudden, so can you please take a look at it Stefan?
