file_scalar_ascii

Synopsis

file_scalar_ascii (file, offset, type)

Description

The file_scalar_ascii object reads ASCII scalar data from file starting at the position specified

Parameters

file

Object of type FILE.file that identifies the file that will be accessed. Note that this is not a string holding the filename. See the example.

offset

int. Specifies, in bytes, an offset from the beginning of the file.

Type

int. type specifies type of data:

Value	Data type
0	Byte
1	Character
2	Short
3	Integer
4	Float
5	Double

Example

ASCII file, data.dat, contains an integer and a float:

128 666.777

To get the integer and float values:

file data_file {
name = "data.dat";
};

int i_value => file_scalar_ascii(data_file, 0, 3);
int f_offset => file_skip_words(data_file, 0, 1);
float f_value => file_scalar_ascii(data_file, f_offset, 4);
