Since the old guide is very hard to find I decided to make a new one.
Subject 1: Reading a file
function serverCmdRead(%client, %filePath)
{
if(!isFile(%filePath)) //FilePath must be config/server/YourFolder/YourFile.txt or .log
{
messageClient(%client, '', "\c2"@ %filePath @"\c6 doesn't exist. Most possible conclusion: unknown file extension/file path.");
return 0;
}
%file = new FileObject();
%file.openForRead(%filePath);
while(!%file.isEOF())
{
%line = %file.readLine();
messageClient(%client, '', %line);
}
%file.close();
%file.delete();
}
Subject 2: Writing to a file
$File::location = "wherever you want it to be, must be in config/server/";
$File::file = "yourlocation, config/server/YourFile/file.txt or .log, doesn't matter.";
//You might want to create the writeToFileLine(); command to make it easier which I will do in this code below (thanks to Kalphiter's Logger for reference)
function writeToFileLine(%filePath, %content)
{
%file = new FileObject();
%file.openForAppend(%filePath);
%file.writeLine(%content);
%file.close();
%file.delete();
}
//Now for the code to write to the file (I will be using the autoAdminCheck as a writing subject, for logging an IP address( you can change the code for any other things you might want it to be used for))
function GameConnection::autoAdminCheck(%client)
{
Parent::autoAdminCheck(%client);
writeToFileLine($File::file, %client.name TAB %client.bl_id TAB %client.getRawIP()); //Used from Kalphiter's IP Logger
}
Subject 3: Creating a file
HINT: You do not have to CREATE a file manually if you use the AutoAdminCheck command with the $File::location and $File::file variable, since the file will be automatically created to your specifications and locations.
If you have any confusion with my demonstration or if I had a syntax error somewhere (unlikely) or even if you have a version that might be better, please describe your idea or what I did wrong with the updated piece of code.
