I've got an AmigaVision programming problem for you clever heads :-)
For our house presentation system written in AmigaVision, we need to
scan directories for picture files, the intention being that we can update
the presentation just by dropping in more ILBM files.
It's quite easy to produce the listing we want (List LFormat %s), but
getting the list into AmigaVision variables proves to be quite tricky. Our
imagined strategy is as follows:
Convert the ASCII file into a database file. Since the data is
guaranteed to be 5 chars/line, it should be quite easy to write a tiny C
program to make this conversion. Anyone out there with pointers towards the
dBaseIII format used by AmigaVision?
Strange that AV handles dBaseIII but not ASCII files. I suppose this is
what the ARexx port is there to handle.
Info & Experience will be much appreciated!
-Henrik
