Reading Plist/Xml Files

赵韬

We have file operations. Check file section in our API_reference.pdf,   manual.pdf.

If you want to modify the read in content, which is a Dict, use Dict api. It is in Dict section of API_reference.pdf.

Can you please give me an example of how to read/edit and create a new file in the res folder at runtime?  

赵韬

There is sample code in the manual.pdf, Chapter9: Files
var handler = c_file_open("test");
c_file_op(C_FILE_WRITE,handler,"This is a test file");
var content = c_file_op(C_FILE_READ,handler);

And there is a sample project in projects\demo. It shows lots of APIs including file

uzair187

var handler = c_file_open("test");
c_file_op(C_FILE_WRITE,handler, testDictionary);

doesn't let me write, is there any other method? ..

赵韬

what is testDictionary?

uzair187

Its a dictionary ... But I have been able to solve the issue by passing str(testDictionary) ..

But I have another question .. I have a file test.txt in res folder and I want to open and read its content, I tried
var handler = c_file_open("test",0);
and
var handler = c_file_open("test",1);
nothing works ..

赵韬

Sorry for the inconvenience. We just add a API to do this c_res_file(filename).

var handler = c_res_file("a.txt");
trace(handler);
var content = c_file_op(C_FILE_READ,handler);
trace(content);

c_file_open() opens a file on the phone storage, not in APK

Can we detect subfolders in the res folder with c_res_file("foldername")? Is there any other way to detect the existance of subfolders by name?

赵韬

c_res_file or c_file_open must take a file name not a folder name.

If the file does not exist, c_res_file returns null.

You may use files to know whether their folders exist.

Ok, but that confuses me a little...c_file_op(C_FILE_LIST, file_handler) "Return a list of file handlers in a directory." so I'm assuming the handler passed in is for a directory so it returns the contents...
