Importing a file

Coding Python Support

I’m trying to make a script for 2.5. This script needs to import a .csv, this is actually for a new type of file, and I’m having problems doing that. Namely, I heard there was already a Python module for importing .csv files. Can someone help me out? I’m dissecting the .obj import script for the rest of the code.

don’t know about a module, but you could just open a file, read a line and assign it to variables…

I don’t know how to call the “file dialog” (in 2.49 it was:

Blender.Window.FileSelector() but in 2.5 not sure!

if you know the path to the filr you can just open it direct:


infile = open('myfile.csv', 'r')   # r means open as text

for line in infile:
    line = infile.readline()    

    rowcells = line.split(',')     #splits the string into a list   using the ',' to make the cuts....
