Solution

  • New line for each record?

    (
    file = memStreamMgr.openFile @"C:\sample.ext"

    while NOT file.eos() do
    (
        local line = filterString (file.readLine()) ", "
        if line.count == 4 AND isValidNode (local obj = getNodeByName line[4]) do
            obj.pos = [line[1] as float, line[2] as float, line[3] as float]
    )
    memStreamMgr.close file
)
