| Name: | ReadList - read a list of specified format from a stream
|
| Synopsis: | istream [types] ReadList -> [result]
|
| Parameters: | istream : an input stream
[types] : an array with one or more of the following type specifiers:
Number - specifies a real number
Double - specifies a real number
Integer- specifies an integer
Word - a white space separated string
String - a text line terminated with a newline character
|
| Description: | ReadList reads the rest of a file into an array. If [types] contains
more than one type specifier, the array is constructed from subarray with
elements of the types, specified by [types].
ReadList tries to allocate the result array in advance. The option
BufferSize can be specified to optimize this behaviour.
The valid type specifiers are defined in the ReadModes dictionary.
|
| Examples: | istream [/Number /Number] ReadList -> [[1 2] [3 4] ...]
istream [/Number] ReadList -> [1 2 3 4 ...]
|
| References: | ReadList approximates the Mathematica function.
