gscript2: requestText

[Arkan1k]

I am currently trying to figure out ways that I can read from or save to a text file either on the server or the client's computer.
I have been experimenting with "requestText(str, str)" for a while, but I can't really figure out at all how you would be able to read a specific file with it.

Currently I have:

NPC Code:

---

requestText(str, str):

 - weapon [weaponname]

 - weaponlist

 - class [classname]

 - classlist

 - options

 - serverflags

 - folders

 - folder [path]



 - document [path=docu/docu_textfile.txt]

  I'm not positive about that last one as I am not able to test it.

---

I am sure there's a few more. But I am unable to test.

Some other functions I have found are these. Yet I have no clue on how they work and am requesting any help in figuring them out.

NPC Code:

---

  loadfolder(str, int)

  loadlines(str)

  loadstring(str)

  loadvars(str)



  savelines(str, int)

  savestring(str, int)

I have seen the RC weapon use it as:

    text.savestring("rclog.txt",1);

But again, I am not able to test. I just presume that it saves a string to the specified text file in the logs folder.

  savevars(str, int)

---

I would appreciate any help.

I have also attached something I slapped together, rather messily (is that a word? It is now.).
It is sort of based on command prompt. Something I've been using to test the above commands and to teach myself gscrip2.
I didn't really need to make them all "/commands" but, what's the dif?
Included is a small formatText function which basically is used like:

NPC Code:

---

formatText("[r]This is red,[/r] and [y]This is yellow[/y]")

---

And it basically swaps the [r] tags and any other tags you may add into the function with their respective <font color=#color></font> tags.
I didn't put much effort into it, but I'm sure we can improve on it.

And if you call weaponlist or any other kind of thing through "/request" you can add either "-e" or "-l" to open the requested text in a editable text box or a list.

Perhaps even we can start up a few community projects that we can all work on together.

Anyway, again, I would love any help from anyone, and enjoy my little cmd script.
