![]() You can use The StrictFiles global property to control the behavior when reading a nonexistent file as a container. See The Umask global property for complete details about reading or setting these properties. When your SenseTalk command creates a new file, you can control the access permissions for the file as well as access to any folder created in the directory structure. Put contents as data into file "/tmp/binaryFile" Put file "/tmp/datafile" as data into myData To read or write a file as binary data instead of as text, specify as data: By default, SenseTalk uses UTF-8, a common 8-bit system for encoding Unicode characters. When accessing a file as a container, text is interpreted during both reading and writing according to the setting of the defaultStringEncoding global property. In these cases, you might prefer to use the commands described below in Commands and Functions for Working with Files. Occasionally, it might not be the most efficient approach to use if your script needs to do a significant amount of reading or writing in a file. Treating a file as a container is easy and works well for many situations. The value of the file expression is treated as empty in this case. ![]() The value of the result is also set to an error message when reading a file as a container if the file does not exist or cannot be accessed. If a command attempts to write to a file and fails for some reason (such as insufficient privileges for writing to the file), the result is set to an error message. Put line repeatindex() of MyFileVar into outputĪlthough this example only logs each line after it is read, you could instead add code to perform additional actions with the content, which here is stored into the variable output. Repeat the number of lines of MyFileVar times Put file "/Users/bob/Desktop/TestRead" into MyFileVar Using this approach, you can read an entire file with a single command: The simplest way to work with the contents of a file is to access the file directly as a SenseTalk container.
