Is it possible to read text files from controller scripts?

[whizzl]

Hi All,

I'm trying to read a simple .txt file from within my controller script, does anyone know if / how
this is possible?
There are all kinds of ways of reading files in Javascript but they all seem to be possible only within webbrowsers. Javascript is not my primary language so I'm kind of new to this and cannot find a
solution.

Cheers,

yes, here's one way to do it:

Code: Select all

var filename = "test.txt";
var content = new java.lang.String(
                    java.nio.file.Files.readAllBytes(
                      java.nio.file.Paths.get(filename)
                    )
                  );
println(content);

"test.txt" would then be in your home-directory
