Import Function Args from a text file?

[Southstorm]

Is there such a tool that will import function args into an AVS script from a text file?

I see the Run and Call functions, but this is just for executing a external program.

I just want to read lines from a text file and insert them into an AVS script on the fly.

Since you want to read lines, ie the most general case, you will need AVSLib for this (it will make handling & quering line contents easier); see the 5th and 8th of the online example-scripts to get an idea.

You can also take a look at these threads / posts; thay may prove useful, depending on what you want to do after reading the lines.

• how to create a file containing an avisynth multiline string from the command prompt
• another example, showing how to batch-script an avs that reads parameters from file
• yet another batch-scripting-an-avs-that-reads-parameters-from-file example (without AVSLib)
• how to read runtime-changing input (without AVSLib)

There are more threads on this topic, but I think this is enough for start .
