Dear Don, I suppose you already have a programme which converts lists into cycles. So all you need is a piece of code which reads a file and outputs a list. Suppose the file contains lists of integers separated by line breaks as in your example.
LoadPackage("io"); ## package for handling input-output streams input:=InputTextFile("a.txt"); ## open an input stream attached to the file list:=[]; repeat linestring:=ReadLine(input); ## read next line from "input" as a string if linestring<>fail then Add(list, EvalString(NormalizedWhitespace(linestring))); fi; until linestring=fail; CloseStream(input); ## don't forget to close all streams you opened! Now all you have to do is convert all lists in "list" to cycles. Hope that helps, marc __________________________________________________________________ Deutschlands größte Online-Videothek schenkt Ihnen 12.000 Videos!* http://entertainment.web.de/de/entertainment/maxdome/index.html _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@mail.gap-system.org http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
