Re: [sc-users] sorry wrong topic - DATA FILES

Hi, 
I'm having problems with cottle's data file example. I found a way to
retrieve the array back, but I'm a SC beginner then I probably went to the
most stupid and difficult way to  do it.  Anyone knows how to fix this
problem ?

Thanks! pb.

// cottle's example:
//writing array to data file
var fp, data;
fp = File("TestInt", "w"
data = [65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71];
data.do({arg eachInt; fp.putInt16(eachInt)});
fp.close;

//works fine

//getting the array back from file and placing the the variable data

var fp, data;
fp = File("TestInt", "r"); //open a file
data = fp.getAllInt16; //read all as Int array
data.postln;
fp.close;

// SC tells me Message " 'readAllInt16' not understood."


// my way
var fp, data;

fp = File("TestInt", "r"); //open a file

data= Array.fill(7,{ fp.getAllInt16 });

data.postln;

fp.close;
