Multiline File Reading for a 3D engine?

[Gooie]

I was just working on a 3D engine ( Long Shot ), and ran into a roadblock. I have never been good and File I/O. I'm trying to read a line in a file one line at a time, and I can't find any good explaination of 'seek', F10 doesn't help, and the tutorial on CompSci doesn't work for me. So how could I do this? This is what I had, its not up to my usual standard, sorry about the mess, just testing stuff.

Turing:

var ModelCount : int := 0 var FileName : string var FileLine : string var Vertex : array 1 .. 3 of real var FileStream : int := Dir.Open ("./models") var CurrentFile : int var Temp : int := 1 loop     FileName := Dir.Get (FileStream)     exit when FileName = ""     if FileName (1) = "_" then         ModelCount += 1         open : CurrentFile, "./models/" + FileName, get, seek     end if end loop setscreen ("text") for x : 1 .. 2     seek : CurrentFile, x     get : CurrentFile, FileLine     put  FileLine     for i : 1 .. 3         get : CurrentFile, Vertex (i)         put Vertex (i)     end for     Temp += 1     exit when eof (CurrentFile) end for Dir.Close (FileStream)

Here is the file I need to get variables from. It is exported from Houdini Master.

code:

g v -0.5 -0.5 -0.5 v 0.5 -0.5 -0.5 v 0.5 -0.5 0.5 v -0.5 -0.5 0.5 v -0.5 0.5 -0.5 v 0.5 0.5 -0.5 v 0.5 0.5 0.5 v -0.5 0.5 0.5 g f 2 6 5 1 0.1 0.0 0.1 f 3 7 6 2 0.2 0.1 0.2 f 4 8 7 3 0.3 0.2 0.3 f 1 5 8 4 0.4 0.3 0.4 f 3 2 1 4 0.5 0.4 0.5 f 6 7 8 5 0.6 0.5 0.6

Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

Seek goes to a certain location within a file, eg seek : file, * goes to the eof
Although I'm quite sure you only need get for loading models and to get a line its get :file , line : *

[Gooie]

Is there a possible way to read one line at a time? It would make things a lot easier for me. I can probably figure something out based on what you've told me though, thanks.

I said it in my previous post, get :file , line : *, where line is a string

: * is the key.

As Saad said you will need to have a loop with and exit when eof (file) then a get : file, line : * this will assign the line in the file to the variable line. you can then use string manipulation to extract all the usfull data from it.
