player.loadvars

[Schetti]

Lets say, I wrote in my "notepad":

This is a test.
To show how it fails.

and let this script part work:

PHP Code:

function Notes_list.onSelect(id,text,indx){
  player.notes.loadvars("Notes/"@player.account@".txt");
  Notes_title.text = player.notes.list[id];
  this.txt = player.notes.(@Notes_title.text);

  Notes_note.text = this.txt;

} 


the text in the GUI looks:
"This is a test.\r\nTo show how it fails.",

someone can tell me how to fix this?

Try using MLText.

Loadvars is trying to do exactly what it states -- loading variables.

Script help for 'loadvars':
TGraalVar.loadvars(str) - loads the variables from a file where each line has the format varname=value

for example, in the textfile you may have:
test=foo
test2=bar

then,

PHP Code:

temp.notes.loadvars("Notes/"@player.account@".txt");
Notes_note.text = temp.notes.test; 


this would display "foo" in the GUI.


for what you're trying to do you might want to check out loadlines().
It will return the lines of the text file as an array, so in your case, it would return the array {"This is a test.", "To show how it fails."}

isnt there a way, to get the same text, as I wrote down? without any "" or such?

I haven't used loadLines() much, but I'm assuming you could just loop through the array of lines and add them to the GUI control one at a time...

Something like this:

PHP Code:

temp.paragraph.loadlines("somefolder/textfile.txt");
for( temp.line: paragraph ) {
  MyGuiControl.text = MyGuiControl.text @ "\n" @ line;
} 


Anyways, I'm heading to class, so I'm not sure if this makes sense or not

I dont think this works, and also, because I hardly guess i didnt use correct.

It should work. You would need to use savelines() to save the file, though.

PHP Code:

function mySaveFunction() {
  temp.notes = MyMLTextGui.text;
  temp.notes.savelines("myfolder/myfile.txt", 1);
}

Using a GuiMLTextCtrl should work in this case. Did you try that yet?

[Admins]

Would be interesting to see the content of the notes files, and also what kind of GUI control Notes_Note is.

HMM... better posting full script

Sry, I couldnt folow the part with GuiMLTextCtrl, how newb I am. Also tell me if you think thats above my ability level, but I dont think so.
I know there will be lot of nobish stuff, and ignore the boxes, I dont think I will/can use them.

PHP Code:

Why are you still using loadvars()? I'm also not sure why you are using player.notes, anyways. Why not use a temporary variable?
