Hi
I published a Module on CPC to read ASCII files years ago.
It can recognise and decode many CP types (REAL, String, INTEGER, BOOLEAN, etc).
I never (*implemented*) the ability to recognise SETs, although that function
was designed in. By complete coincidence YESTERDAY I needed to read SETs from an
ASCII file, so completed the missing bit!
Two points worth mentioning.
1 - It does not read the whole file into a BlackBox Text. This means it is
efficient for reasonably large files. It can comfortably handle much larger
files than the Obx Converters.Import approach.
2 - The Scanner can be either connected to an ASCII file, or to a BlackBox Text
(eg the Focus Window) without changing the client code. This is very useful in
development.
I attach the current Docu file if anyone is interested.
Regards
Robert
