It would help if you provided the whole of the import file. You're testing for a "TCOL" line which isn't shown, referencing "Mass" which isn't shown and using Args which isn't defined in the provided code.
I hope it's the forum which has messed with the layout of that code because it's difficult to read as-is. Consistent indentation helps enormously in cases like this.
First off, assuming that the "TCOL" line is at the beginning of the import file, then that code cannot work.
You read a line, test for "TCOL" and if true jump to the while statement (because of the continue).
That reads the next line, the test for "TCOL" fails, the next line of code reads another line from the file, thus skipping the "Attributes" line entirely.
Assuming it ever found an "Attributes" line, it prints the attribute text then goes around the loop (continue) - there seems to be a missing closing parenthesis after that continue, which consistent indentation shows up quite clearly. Syntactically the "if line == "mass"" is contained within the "if line == "atributes"" (because of the missing ")" )and so can never execute (the continue kicks it back to the while loop). Effectively you have a "statement cannot be reached" error (though MXS doesn't report that kind of error).
There also seems to be an erroneous continue and ) after the "Mass" block - in that position you are terminating the loop - the entire code will cycle to EOF and the "if line == ")"" will never get executed (with a line from the file, only after an EOF).
This is what I
think it should look like, but without the whole import file I'm just guessing at some things.
on imp pressed do
(
colopenname = getOpenFileName caption:"Open file" types:"file (*.tcol)|*.tcol|"
colname = openfile colopenname
if colname != undefined do
(
while not eof colname do
(
line = readLine colname --We start reading the file
if line == "TCOL1.0" do
(
format "TCOL 1.0\nStarted TCOL import\nName: %\n" colopenname to:listener
continue
)
-- this line should not be here
-- line = readLine colname
if line == "attributes {" do
(
format "Importing atributes\n" to:listener
continue
) -- this line is missing
if line == "mass" do
(
massv = args as float -- what is args ????
smass.value massv -- ???
format "Mass: %\n" massv to:listener
continue
)
-- continue -- i don't know what this is doing here '
-- ) -- this would terminate the while loop
if line == "}" do
(
format "Finish\n" to:listener
continue
)
) -- this ends the While loop
) -- this ends the "if colname" test
) -- this ends the function
