ive been reading some manuals and books for IDL but im not sure how to
solve this likely simple problem.
I have this I need to input to idl (.txt file):
Name = {Joe}
Department = {CS}
Age = {25}
and in IDL i need to save each attribute to its own variable. But if,
lets day, department is ommited I want it to not input age as
department. With c/c++ this isnt so bad as you can search the file for
a 'keyword' and print the value from there, but I cant find how to do
this in IDL.
I have this basic input program written but it doesnt do what I need
it to.
PRO inputer
print, 'starting input'
getfile = DIALOG_PICKFILE (/READ)
print, getfile
OPENW, 1, getfile
POINT_LUN, 1, 0
A = ' ' ; want extendable length if possible.
READU, 1, A
print, A
POINT_LUN, 1, 0
CLOSE, 1
END
If someone could point me in the right direction that would be of
great help!
