All of the Icons above have to do with file loading or saving. In all cases you will be asked for the name of a file upon which to act. You will be shown the standard file system dialog in which you may select a file to load or a dialog in which you must select or create a folder in which to save a file the name under which it is to be saved. The name and place are retained by the icon when the script itself is saved. The file is either loaded or saved only when the icon is executed in the script flow. The file types and icons are described here.
The Icons each handle a specific file type. Each of these icons has a representation of a storage device in the upper left corner, and most have a symbol representing the file type handled. Two are special cases.
This Icon
causes a "Big File" to be multiplied into the "Big Array".
Each pixel is complex multiplied by the contents of the corresponding pixel.
This Icon adds
a "Big File" to the contents of the "Big Array".
These icons can place tab separated number fields in a file. Both do more than that
and are explained ,here
(symbols) and here (clip Text).
Loading or saving a Series of files
You can choose to make a loop in your script, and cause a different file to be loaded or saved on each pass of the icon. You signal your intension to load a series of files by selecting a file name that ends in a pound sign and a number (not counting the file extension), for example if you choose a files called "letter#1" or "letter#1.CoOpB" the file name will be scanned and before execution of the script, you will be shown a dialog box like the one below. The Icon needing the information is highlighted while this dialog is displayed. Notice that he whole path name is displayed so that you can verify that this is indeed the file you want.
If the select "do series" the file the name of which is shown in the box will be loaded, on the next pass "letter#2.CoOpB" will be loaded and so on.
If you are saving a file and you enter the name of a file like the one named above and then choose "do series" a new name will be created with a higher number on each pass of the loop.
If the icon is reading a series of files and comes to the end of the available files execution will stop silently with that icon. It will remain highlighted. If, however, you have provided an alternative (green) path, execution will be follow that path instead of stopping, the counter will be reset to the starting value (whatever that is), and if execution then return to this icon the sequence will start anew.
The every time you click the "start" button in the scripting window the count will be reset to the starting number for all the icons doing a series. The starting number does not need to be "1".
