Title: File Input add to ASL in Build 1321
Post by: Steve on March 15, 2018, 07:34:47 pm

Build build 1321 (http://www.anim8or.com/download/preview/files/animcl1321.zip) dated March 15, 2018 supports text file input in ASL Object Command scripts.

The ASL spec (http://www.anim8or.com/scripts/spec/index.html) has been updated to show the new features. I've attached some sample files as well with a bit of explaination.

file_read_obj.a8s - imports .obj data files.
file_read_tokenize.a8s - lists the contents of a file as tokens.

Here's a link to the part of the spec that describes how to use the text scanner (http://www.anim8or.com/scripts/spec/index.html#text_scanner).

Anim8or can prompt the user for the out file name and location with the #file Directive (http://www.anim8or.com/scripts/spec/index.html#file_directive) in an Object Command or an Untyped Command script.

The ASL spec adress is wrong.

Steve
Will there be a binary scanner some day? And what about output?

Awesome! I'm looking at creating an svg/eps import plugin using this new feature. Has spline creation via ASL been implemented yet?
