I need some code in AS3 that will read a text file line by line and insert it into an array. Is this possible without having any special character?
sample.txt
car
van
scooter
bike
I need to read the file and insert it into an array like:
Array[0]=car
Array[1]=van
Array[2]=scooter
Array[3]=bike
Here is an example of loading and reading different file types with ActionScript 3:
import flash.filesystem.FileMode;
import flash.filesystem.FileStream;
import flash.filesystem.File;
var myFile:File = File.appResourceDirectory; // Create out file object and tell our File Object where to look for the file
myFile = myFile.resolve("mySampleFile.txt"); // Point it to an actual file
var fileStream:FileStream = new FileStream(); // Create our file stream
fileStream.open(myFile, FileMode.READ);
var fileContents:String = fileStream.readUTFBytes(fileStream.bytesAvailable); // Read the contens of the
fileContents_txt.text = fileContents; // Display the contents. I've created a TextArea on the stage for display
fileStream.close(); // Clean up and close the file stream
After reading the string, you can use the int.valueOf() to convert the string to the integer.
if you are using a real time recording, text is more fast to generate than others like .json or .xml. But xml and json are more easy to read and parse.
