Reading from a file

[Greg Osenbach]

Ok, Tanks for the suggestions.

So so lets say the list from my orignal experiment is 120 rows long and
could be from any one of 60 different lists.  I need the LastValue from two
of those (at random).

At the end of experiment 1 I pick at random 2 rows from the list, and write
a text file containing:

ListFileName,BlockNumber,LastValue
ListFileName,BlockNumber,LastValue

And later on  will just read this text file rather than the log file.

Is see the Input commands loads the contents of the file into a string.
Then what?  with e-basic how do I find the two LastValues in said string?
Other languages I have used have functions built in that would directly take
a comma dileminated file and place it in a 2 dimensional array, where I
could then just read array(0,2) and (1,2).  I hae not come across anything
in e-basic that might accomplish this, only the input command which looks
like it just will read a cartin number of bytes into a string.  Let's assume
that ListFileName and BlockNumber cab be a variable length, which will
change the relative positions of LastValue in the file.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Greg
