ExportText proc (savefile)

Format

savefile.ExportText(path=cd,file)

Args

• path: the path to export
• file: optional file to write to

Converts all or part of a savefile to a human readable text format, similar in syntax to DM. If no file is specified, the savefile text is returned as a text string instead of being written to a file.

The following example shows how to export and later import a savefile. The user’s mob is written into a directory with the same name as their ckey and the result is written to a text file.

mob/verb/write()
   var/savefile/F = new()
   var/txtfile = file("players/[ckey].txt")
 
   F[ckey] << usr
 
   fdel(txtfile)
   F.ExportText("/",txtfile)
 
   usr << "Your savefile looks like this:"
   usr << "<pre>[html_encode(file2text(txtfile))]</pre>"
 
mob/verb/read()
   var/savefile/F = new()
   var/txtfile = file("players/[ckey].txt")
 
   F.ImportText("/",txtfile)
   F[ckey] >> usr
