i am trying to use a text file that will be saved frequently on a web server location. the contents of the text file will be a single integer or a float number.

the java for reading a local file works perfectly. but i will be using a server application to process images with facial expressions from mobile apps and remote webcams. the processed result will be stored as a integer or float number on one single line.

the java that works, reading from a local file is below;

filename = “/c:maxtestfile/test.txt”;

typelist = new Array(“iLaF” , “maxb” , “NUMBER” );

f = new File(filename, access, typelist);

Does anyone know a simple way to implement a readURL.readLine to access a text file? perhaps the is a DataURL to Blob... but are these javascript classes a part of the javascript version for MAX 5/6?

the java that works, reading from a local file is below;
// charGet.js
//
//gets the line with a char in it.
// inlets and outlets
inlets = 1;
outlets = 2;

function bang(){
filename = “/c:maxtestfile/test.txt”;
access = “readwrite”;
typelist = new Array(“iLaF” , “maxb” , “NUMBER” );
f = new File(filename, access, typelist);

while(f.isopen && f.position < f.eof ){
x = parseInt(f.readline(1) + “\n”);
}
post(“the num in file is”);
post(x);
post();
f.close();
}
