I am having a hard time getting
#fopen/#read in version 3.1a, MS-DOS,
to work like I expect.
Can anybody take the time to tell me
what is wrong with the following?
My scene file looks like this:
==============================
#declare R0=4;
#declare n=0;
#fopen PathFile "8_2_11a.dat" read
union{
#while (defined(PathFile))
#read (PathFile, xx, yy, zz)
sphere{<xx,yy,zz>,R0}
#declare n=n+1;
#end
texture{Path0_tex}
}
#fclose(PathFile)
==================================
the file 8_2_11.dat looks like this:
=======================================
33.233795,-89.718941,32.003906,

-86.662827,-2.535072,7.846359
=================================
I am consistently getting this error message
from POVRay (3.1a, MSDOS):
=========================
#while

POV-Ray is propably right. It propably expects to see values which are not
separated by commas in your .dat file. I haven't tried this, but could this
be the matter?

i have tried replacing the commas with spaces and, amazingly
(ironically?) getting the same error message. Anyway, the way
i read the docs, they specifically say fields in the data
should be separated by commas.
