Flash import and split text!

[lerkan]

Hi !

I building a replayer poker hands tool. When you play poker, at fulltilt, for example, the history is saved in a text file (See below).

I will build a visual tool to replay the hand. I guess the first step is to split the file, and put the values into variables. I tried this with the split method, but couldn't figure it out

Need help please!

Could you provide more information?

With what you've listed here I can only say this. I've done this a lot with PHP and other things like that and have to split imported name value pairs as well as name value strings, and then split the string with a character in the PHP.

the same principal applies here, I'd seperate each line with something out of the ordinary, like &=. Then split the imported string based on that character.

Sounds like you need a class, which can interpret the file.
There is an obvious format to how the log file is laid out. You should take a lot of these files, and get a greater understanding of the information in them

Make a class, that can take the text in a log file, and convert it into an array, which acts as each sequence of actions performed.

Best bet, is to use Regular Expressions to sift through the text, but you could also use a sequential check system, and go through it.

After you have the array, you can use a sequencer to just recreate the actions that occurred.

I can't help much more than that but my give you a place to start.
