getParameterNamed() only working for integers?

[[Ro...]]

Hi, i have a .txt that im reading with readListFile()

This is what it contains:

With this code:

offtsetCoordinates = readListFile(offsetFile)
ballFinderOffsetX = (val(getParameterNamed(offtsetCoordinates,1))/1000)
ballFinderOffsetY = (val(getParameterNamed(offtsetCoordinates,2))/1000)
ballFinderOffsetZ = (val(getParameterNamed(offtsetCoordinates,3))/1000)
coordsys = getParameterNamed(offtsetCoordinates,4)

I get the two "0" values correctly because i guess they are integers and the rest is just "".

I could make the file comma seperated and then use 

offSetStuff=offsetFile.asFilename.contentsOfEntireFile
xOffset = val(strElement(1,",",offSetStuff)))
yOffset = val(strElement(2,",",offSetStuff)))
zOffset = val(strElement(3,",",offSetStuff)))
coordSys = val(strElement(4,",",offSetStuff)))

But i dont want that tbh. 

 

Is there a way to use getParamteterNamed() for that?

What exactly ist it that doesn't work with your first code? If I simulate it, I get 0, 0 and -0.1d

What exactly did you get and what did you expect instead?

I never had any problems reading mixed lists with getParameterNamed()

offtsetCoordinates = readListFile(offsetFile)
ballFinderOffsetX = (val(getParameterNamed("offtsetCoordinates",1))/1000)
ballFinderOffsetY = (val(getParameterNamed("offtsetCoordinates",2))/1000)
ballFinderOffsetZ = (val(getParameterNamed("offtsetCoordinates",3))/1000)
coordsys = getParameterNamed("offtsetCoordinates",4)

Hi Norbert,

here u see what im getting here (ignore the parenthesis in front of val(), it doesnt change the result)

And i swear, yesterday when testing the same code got me "" for 

coordsys = getParameterNamed("offtsetCoordinates",4)

I used the format from your original post (no "" around offsetCoordinates) and still got -0.1d for the 3rd value (-100.0). I used display() for output.

I guess im going to install the latest sp and see if it still behaves like that

I restarted Calypso 20000 times during testing with no influence on the result. After restarting the PC to install the new sp its now working as intended

Just blame Microsoft. 🤣

Okay, its not working again. It takes floats now, but the strings stay the same... String just become an empty string 😞

Make sure you file is encoded with UTF-8, other encodings can cause issues with readListFile() and the regular filestream.

If I recall correct 7.8 was the first version to use a more roboust filestream.

You gave me hope for a second, but unfortunately my files are encoded with UTF-8 😞
