Any pointers other than stdio on a way to load local csv file into an ACSIL study? File pathname would be an input variable or is there a file selection possibility?

Thanks.

There is no express support for working with files other than the standard C/C++ libraries.

And there is no file selection dialog. Although we probably could add a study Input that supports that if you would like? Really should not be hard for us to do.

That would be great. Would it be possible to support something like I have used from some example code to handle the sc.HTTPResponse when an sc.MakeHttprequest was made?

sc.HTTPResponse.ParseLines

Any help appreciated, before reinventing the wheel on this.

Thanks,
Frederik

We have no comment to the prior question and we do not understand it. It is not something we would help with anyway.

Can you tell me if sc.MakeHTTPRequest support requesting a file from localhost if I would set up a webserver on the computer that is running SC?

Thanks.

Yes. It certainly can request a file from any network address including the local computer at 127.0.0.1.

With my earlier question i meant that i am looking for a simular function than sc.makehttprequest, but than for reading a local file.

There is this function:

SCString::ParseLines(std::vector <SCString>& Lines)

For information about SCStrings, refer to:

An additional question in line with this thread. I tried reading a public csv file stored in a google drive, into a study that uses the sc.MakeHttprequest function. It does not work. I do not have access to the details in the message log at this time, but is this something that should work? Thanks.

See some feedback in message log when I try to load a public file from google drive and dropbox. It looks like the attempt to get the file contents is timing out.

The TLS connection is succeeding but we assume there is a problem with the request. This is not within the scope of our support to help with.

Yes. I tested it a bit more and its not a SC issue.
