Hello,

Does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of comma separated variables
you can read from one line? I'm working with ten right now and having some
issues.

Cheers!

AFAIK white space is white space and it's just the commas that matter here.
Also #read only works for literals.

Oh sorry, I think I mis-understood what you were asking...  No I don't know how
many you can put into a single #read statement. :)

I'd be surprised (I'd instead expect some characters-per-line limit instead).

In any case, ten variables doesn't seem an uncommonly high number to me...

I haven't used #read, but in my experience the most common things to look for are:

commas instead of decimal points or vice versa
mismatched quote marks

And rarely, if the source file has been transferred between windows and linux, look
for CRLF pairs that are goofed up.

Can you post the offending line so we might criticize it harshly?

  AFAIK it doesn't make any difference for povray which type of newlines
are used in the file (regardless of which platform povray is being
running in).
