How to use the datafile (database) object

Post by Support »

Here is a working script showing how to use the DataFile object...

Code: Select all

WordList = 'Mike,Joe,Diane,Zack,Yany,Joe,Marie,David,Mike,Ken';
// Note that the above contain duplicates.

// Make all the words one per line...
WordList.Replace(',', crlf);

// Set our database file name and path...
DataFileName = ScriptPath + '$data.dat';

// Create our database object...
DF = New(DataFile);

// Open the database...
DF.Open(DataFileName);
// Make the database indexed in ascending order...
DF.SortedIndex;
// Empty the database...
DF.Truncate;

// Iterate through the all the words...
for each WordList as aWord do begin

	// If the word does not exist in the database...
	if DF.Find(aWord) < 1 then
	  // then add it...
		DF.Append(aWord);

end;

// Close the database...
DF.Close;

Output.Clear;

// Reopen the databse...
DF.Open(DataFileName);

// Output every sorted records...
for x = 1 to DF.Count do
	Output(DF.Read(x));

DF.Close;
