fileImportWebResult - BambooBasic

fileImportWebResult

Category: File IO (Web target only)

Syntax:

fileImportWebResult:String()

Parameters

None

Returns

"" while nothing has happened yet; then, once, the stored file's name - or "*cancelled*" if the user cancelled (or the file was too big for the web file store).

Summary

The answer to fileImportWeb. Check it every frame: it gives the result only once, then "" again, so the code that loads the file runs once.

Web target only: on the desktop, programs read and write real files, so they don't need it. See Building for the Web (File System). GUI programs using BGI can use bgiExportFileWeb / bgiImportFileWeb instead, which answer with a BGI event.

Example

Local name:String = fileImportWebResult()
If name = "*cancelled*" Then
    status = "No file chosen"
ElseIf name <> "" Then
    Local f:Int = fileReadFile(name)
    status = "Loaded " & fileReadLine(f)
    fileCloseFile(f)
EndIf
