File to map

Function Syntax

boolean file_to_map(string file_to_load ,aggregate map_to_fill )

boolean file_to_map(string file_to_load ,aggregate map_to_fill ,boolean compact )

• file_to_load is the filename to load from
• map_to_fill is the map to populate with data
• compact is an (optional) flag; if omitted or true, records that do not contain any aggregate values are expected to be written on a single line, rather that one line per field.

Loads data to the map_to_fill from a saved file_to_load in your KoLmafia "data" or "scripts" directory. The compact parameter is not needed unless you specified it in the map_to_file() call that originally generated the file, in which case the values must match. This function returns the operation's success. If map_to_fill has not been initialized, this function will abort (as oppossed to returning false).

Code Sample

This sample loads a simple map that includes item names keyed by a number.

string [int] my_list;
file_to_map( "SavedList.txt" , my_list);
for i from 0 to (count(my_list) - 1) {
   print( "At index: " + i + " We find: " + my_list[i] );
}

If the file "SavedList.txt" had the following:

0	StDoodle
1	Grotfang

Then the results would be:

At index: 0 We find: StDoodle
At index: 1 We find: Grotfang
