Finding End Of File using the GetLine object

[Nickydude]

I'm using the GetLine object to load a file and parse the lines into different places:



But different files can be different sizes, for example:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
1> Will you rap on the door?
357
2> Will you pull the cord?
275
3> or creep around the house to investigate the light?
289
-----------------------------------------------------------------


-----------------------------------------------------------------
1> Continue. . .
357
-----------------------------------------------------------------

How can I stop getting the rest of the lines if the end of the file is reached? I've attached the program as it stands with source included, somebody might be able to decipher it. :grin:

Thanks.

Hi, Nickydude.

If I understand correctly what you need you can use "compare two general values" and make it a condition using this comparison:

Current line number <= Number of lines

or create a loop that happens for (number of lines) times.

Let me know if that works for you.

I get what you mean but how on earth do I do it?

Also, looking at the image in the first post, how do I put a comment in between lines? I know how to in the Event Editor between events but not between each line in the event.

This is all very confusing. In pseudo code this is what I want:

Load options file

go to the third line
if that line not empty
  load that line into a string value
  go to the fourth line
  if that line not empty
    load that line into a string value
    go to the fifth line
    if that line not empty
      load that line into a string value
      go to the sixth line
      if that line not empty
        load that line into a string value
        go to the seventh line
        if that line not empty
          load that line into a string value
          go to the eight line
          if that line not empty
            load that line into a string value
          endif
        endif
      endif
    endif
  endif
endif

I'll post an example soon, Hold on.

Ok, here's a simple example. Let me know if this is what you need.

That explains it much better, thanks byo.
