[Solved] How to read whole text file not just one line ?

Hi !

I've read this thread http://community.stencyl.com/index.php/topic,24729.0.html and found
the code var s:String = nme.Assets.getText("assets/data/dict.txt");
The problem is that it reads only the first line of the file. How can you read all the file ?

Thanks

In fact the var s contains all the text. How do I know that ? When I draw it on screen all the line appears  on the same line (line break is omitted in display).
But how do you split the lines ? i've tried split  s using separator \n , but it doesn't do the trick .

Custom Code Event:

Code: [Select]

public static var newlinePattern:EReg = ~/[\r\n]+/g;

public static function getFileLines(filename:String):Array<Dynamic>
{
return newlinePattern.split(openfl.Assets.getText("assets/data/"+ filename));
}
lines is a LIST attribute.
someText.txt is a text file in the extras folder.

[set lines to [code : getFileLines("someText.txt") ] ]

Try that.

Hi guys,

thanks for the input an the journal thread but maybe i am too stupid
Could you help/show me how to setup the custom block (to include the code and load the text from the file)?

Will exchange what ever you need from Space Pirates

Thanks it works great Justin

I finally managed to split the Lines by using the splitter "code:String.fromCharCode(13) + String.fromCharCode(10)"
But I will take your method

For Bombini

Ok thanks a lot!
Wow this will make my life much easier!

What i still dont understand (and sorry this is not my strenght):

• How do i keep the lines from the text file (three lines in textfile, but game draws all lines on one (see below)?
• How i get/draw only specific lines from the textfile (basically to use one textfile for the whole game)?
• How do i get rid of the brackets while drawing?

It's a list now. So if want only the first line, "draw the get item 0 from the List" . I don't know if I'm clear.

I think it'll answer your 3 questions

Oh boy
Shame on  me!
I will post the working system soon in the SP thread!
Thanks guys
