Hi there guy'sIm quite new to playing with c.o.f.f.e.e. - hopefully you can help
1...
im trying to read from a file.
nothing complex.
Ive got a c.o.f.f.e.e. node in an xpresso tag...
in it it includes the lines of......
var srcfile = new(BaseFile);
srcfile->Open(filename, GE_READ);
var myreal = srcfile->ReadReal();
...filename contains the path\filename to a file. (hardcoded at the moment
Does absolutely bugger all. Doesnt even seem to try to open the file.
Now would I be right in saying that you cant use file operations from c.o.f.f.e.e. nodes in xpresso tags? Im sure i remember reading that somewhere - cant see it in the sdk I downloaded though!
If that is the case, can I just stick it in a propper c.o.f.f.e.e. tag instead and it should work? (I have no idea how to create simple input/output ports that i can attatch to other stuff on a c.o.f.f.e.e. tag, like you can with an xpresso tag - so dont really know how to go down this route yet)
2...
Is there a coffee instruction to return the path of the current document, i can only seem to find an instruction to return the current c4d install path.
If all that makes sense!Many thanks in advance
martin!

1. It seems to work here. Perhaps the filename is wrong? I don't know how you're creating the filename, but an easy way is to use a filename port as input for the C.O.F.F.E.E. node. (I have exactly the same code as you!)
2. BaseDocument::GetFilename()
