Question

I’ve been working on a project for a while but got stuck where I have a text file that contains a set of numbers in this format:

1-2-3-4
1-2-3-4
1-2-3-4
1-2-3-4

So I must read the numbers from the file and put them in an array according to the column so at the end I have

column1:Array (1,1,1,1) 
column2:Array (2,2,2,2) 

….. and so on. I can’t figure how to do this.

What I managed to do was read all the file and have all the numbers in 1 array but just that.

Here’s the code

var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
var txtArray:Array;

myTextLoader.load(new URLRequest(inputFile.text));

myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoaded);

function onLoaded(e:Event):void
{
    txtArray = e.target.data.split(/\-|\n/g);
}

Answer 1

before split \n \r to array (reading with a loop)

and the same with… –

a loop in loop to get a multidimensional array

in mind the result is a “table”

finally to get a result do this.

variable[file][column]
a[2][3] ----> 4
