[squeak-dev] Reading and using data from external file in Etoys

Tue Apr 30 19:59:46 UTC 2013

Hi Luis,

For CSV files you can see that Physical Etoys includes Skeleton with a few
changes that allow a spreadsheet to import/export csv data from external
files. If you want to use that in Etoys you can load this file:
http://source.squeak.org/etoysinbox/Skeleton-Richo.10.mcz and look for the
"data i/o" category on the Skeleton spreadsheet.

For XML, I'm afraid you'll have to get your hands dirty and write some
smalltalk code :)
I don't know your smalltalk knowledge, but here it's a simple example that
might help you get started, let me know if you need more help:

xml := XMLDOMParser parseDocumentFrom: '
<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
 <heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don''t forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>' readStream.
xml explore.

Cheers,
Richo
