Hello Jack,

Yes [text] is great, but I'm currently using tables/arrays that I want to be stored on filesystem.

I actually can [read array.txt ( containing an array (i.e. a list of floats) with [text], and the whole array is loaded as a list on first line, but I'm concerned about performance while loading/parsing data.

Then this would mean using :

[0 $1 1 (
|

[text get dataAsText]

instead of :

[$1 (
|

[tabread dataAsArray]

I will give this solution a try, but I'm using quite large tables (more than 10,000 float values)... do you think it's as fast as [tabread] ?

(PS : I'm also looking for a way to know if a specified file (giving its path) exists or not. I did this once with the [shell] external, but I would prefer a vanilla solution...)

have a nice day,

Raphaël

Hello Raphaël,

For textfiles ?
Maybe you should use [text] ?
