Hello,

Assume I have a text file, "vectors.txt", containing vectors that I wish to read
with each frame of an animation.  So, for frame 1, I read line 1, and for frame
2, I read line 2, and so on.  The following obviously doesn't work, so what is
the correct way to code it?



#ifndef (looks)

   #fopen looks "povray look test.txt" read

#end

#read (looks,var1)
#debug concat("what was read = ", vstr(3, var1, ", ", 0,3), "\n")

Read the first "frame_number" lines in each pass, ignoring all
reads except for the last line. And use a subject for posting ;)

The subject line slipped, but thanks for the advice because it seems to work
fine.
