Greetings to the list on a fine warm sunny evening in Belfast, But here I am, indoors, trying to find an "easy" way to make some data more persistent.
In a small app I am writing for my brother I have a number of classes designed to hold information about video and audio clips. Some of the data is "expensive" to gather - it takes time to process MBytes-GBytes of video to find out, for example, how many frames have been captured and how many dropped. In C I might have used an array of structures, or somesuch. In Gambas I have implemented the data store as a collection of class instances. I am trying to find a way to write the property names and values to a file and I cannot seem to find anywhere in the documentation, or in my archive of this list, a reference to the method used by the IDE when it prints a table to the screen of a highlighted class instance name (in break mode of course). The only practical alternative I can see at the moment is to write a long procedure to write these names and values to a file but there is so much to copy it is quite daunting, and likely to be typing-error-prone. Since in debug mode Gambas already knows how to create tables of the data I want to save, can I not discover this and do it the same way? Perhaps some of you already know how. Here's Hoping!
