Hello,
I'm new in the neuroscience field and the Neuron software, so my problem might be dumb. I have a file "Values.dat" that contains a list of numerical values. I was able to create this file by creating an object File() and then using the printf function. Now I want to be able to read from this file, which as I understand can be done by using the fscan function. Here is a test code that I wrote:

Code: Select all

objref MyFile
MyFile=new File()
MyFile.ropen("Values.dat")

for (i=0;i<10;i=i+1) {
    Value=MyFile.fscan()
    print Value
}

MyFile.close

From the documentation I read and from my Google searches, it seems that I'm using the fscan function properly. However when I run the code, I get the error message:

fscan not a public member of File
nrniv: File fscan
in Test.hoc near line 8
}

What am I doing wrong?

fscan is a function used for a single file opened with the ropen function (File.ropen is different).

If you are instead using the File class, then you'll want the scanvar method instead.

Perfect, that fully solves the problem!
Thank you!
