Topic: Text File in VLX application

[mailmaverick]

Hi,

I have a very long 2 dimensional list in form of a Matrix of size n x m :- (list (list 1 2 3 4 5..... n) (list 4 5 6 4 3 4 ...... n) ............ m)
n and m are of the order of 1000 x 1000 approximately.

I am able to store this list in a text file (.txt) and read it from LISP. However, how to embed this text file in VLX application ?
There is an option to embed Text File while creating VLX application as shown below :-


But what path to be given in LISP to read this text file ?

[VovKa]

i would wrap this matrix into a function and save it as .lsp

What VovKa said + Can the data be generated (not hard coded) on the fly, i.e. from code?

Did a Google  (vl-get-resource "data") reads a text file from vlx, but as a long string simplest may be make a list and save in vlx.

Have you used a Bundle can add support path for text file.
