isolate number from format string with quote ""

Submitted by Michele71 on Mon, 2015-03-30 09:03

Hi all :)

They are the last details of my script (Environment Lighting HDR Studio (MR) ) but now I've a problem that I can not solve...

I want to enter parameters in rollut taking them from a txt file, but the info in file txt are written as Reflections (Subactive Color): (color 255 255 255) or Glossines: 8.0 ecc.. Now I know this form to isolate number from string array:

test = "Max Distance FallOff: 2.0"
strArr = filterString test " "
valuespinner = strArr[4] as float
print valuespinner

but I can not transfer ONLY values in rollout, because I always error of various kinds (!)
If I try with "openFile" and "readValue", (for read the file txt) I've always the result, for example, "scale()", but never specific value. I had no trouble writing values to and from .txt, but now I can not do this..

The question is very simple: How isolate a number from a string with quote "" and restore the values of spinner etc. the rollout reading a file .txt?

Any help is very important to me :D

Thanks

`

why not go with loop and case (of course after filtering)

so if you have strArr array:

for i in strArr.count do (
	case strArr[i] of (
		"Glossines:":(glossines = strArr[i+1] as float)
		"GlossySample:":(glossyS = strArr[i+1] as float)
		--- etc
	)
)

just an idea.
value is always next after name
and "Glossines:" u have probably as a rollout elements .text

It doesn't work for color but than you can do
(color (strArr[i+2] as float) (strArr[i+3] as float) (strArr[i+4] as float))

ah but u need to have written in file "Glossy_Sample" instead of "Glossy Sample"
or remove spaces before writing so you get "GlossySample"

Thanks pixamoon :) Before

Thanks pixamoon :)

Before posting my question, I have tried a simil loop, but without success. Now I perform also your advice and see what appears!

Thanks for your patience and response :)

sure

thats the 1st way (loop every line to get values):

(
	local csvFile = "C:\\renderpreview_0004.txt"
	local adata = (dotnetClass "System.IO.File").ReadAllLines csvFile
 
	for i = 1 to adata.count do 
	try(
		pInfo = (filterString adata[i] " ")
		case pInfo[1] of (
			"Glossines:":glossines = pInfo[2] as float
 
		)
	)
	catch(print ("Error in line: " + i as string))
)
 
print glossines

and this is 2nd (append all single words to one array and than loop it and search for values)

(
	local csvFile = "C:\\renderpreview_0004.txt"
	local adata = (dotnetClass "System.IO.File").ReadAllLines csvFile
	local strArr = #()
 
	for i = 1 to adata.count do (
		pInfo = (filterString adata[i] " ")
		for o in pInfo do append strArr o
	)
 
	for i = 1 to strArr.count do (
		case strArr[i] of (
			"Glossines:":glossines = strArr[i+1] as float
 
		)
	)
)
 
print glossines

Of course you need single words, like "Glossines:", "GlossySample" etc

What you think ?

Yea, I'm doing the tests, but

Yea, I'm doing the tests, but I think the concept is right ;) I try to do the tests then I'll know!

thanks again!!!!

reading form txt

I think dotnet methods will help

Maybe this will help. Take a look on http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/read-data-from-csv-txt

the quote there is "|" but you can easily change to other quote I think.
Best,
