add array to ice with jscript

[clankill3r]

I have this simple script:

Code: Select all

var ForReading = 1;
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var fileObj = fso.GetFile("F:\\temp\\csv_reader_01.txt");
var ts = fileObj.OpenAsTextStream(ForReading, 0 );

var delimiter = ";";

while(!ts.AtEndOfStream) {
    var textLine = ts.ReadLine();
	var tokens = textLine.split(delimiter);
	for(var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
		LogMessage(tokens[i]);
	}
}
ts.Close();


LogMessage("done");

what i want to do is add each line of the textfile as a array to a ice tree.
Or add it as a 2d array.

I tried some things like Selection.AddProperty("UserDataBlob", false, "myBlob");
But no matter what i try i can't get it done, could someone help.

thats why luceric posted this up for you, its exactly what you need to use. find in the "node for reading files" thread

you just need to change the log message to the correct method on the above page. That's of course assuming your using 2013.

Maybe I was having an off day, but I don't think it works in JScript
Create a Python command with the minimal amount of Python code needed to stuff the array into the DataArray, and the call that from your JScript, where you will do all the rest of the work.
