gm_hio - File Input Output

[Helix Alioth]

[img]http://www.colzdragon.net/media/image/projects/hio/logo.png[/img]
Well.. I thought I might as well release my first module. Special thanks to Overv for teaching me fstream and thanks to a website I forget the name of for providing me with the C++ string formatting. This is basically gm_rawio, but smaller, with all of the same functions and more. Aswell as checksums to come. You can use partitions and when writing/reading the path defaults to garrysmod\\garrysmod\\.

[b]Functions:[/b]
[list]
[*]hIO.FileExists( file )
[*]hIO.DirExists( directory )
[*]hIO.Size( file )
[*]hIO.Write( file, contents )
[*]hIO.Read( file )
[*]hIO.Rename( oldname, newname )
[*]hIO.Remove( file )
[*]hIO.MakeDirectory( name )
[*]hIO.RemoveDirectory( name )

[*][lua]
require "hio"

hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "lolexample", function( ply )
hIO.Write( "lollogs\\joins.log", hIO.Read( "lollogs\\joins.log" ) .. "\n" .. string.format( "%s > %s > %s", ply:Nick( ), ply:SteamID( ), ply:IPAddress( ) ) );
end );

Nice job broski.

[Wizard of Ass]

Looks like gm_rawio but less functions

[Helix Alioth]

[QUOTE=Wizard of Ass;23398840]Looks like gm_rawio but less functions[/QUOTE]

gm_hio is basically a compact gm_rawio. It's only 13 kb, whereas gm_rawio is 56 kb.

[Wizard of Ass]

Why you don't make this much more than just gm_rawio ?

You could add function to read the change/creation date filesize etc.

[DarKSunrise]

Maybe add a function to read file's CRC-hash?

[Helix Alioth]

Okay, I'll start work on it :eng101:

[editline]08:28AM[/editline]

Added hIO.Remove, I'll add some more stuff and push the new module.

[editline]08:40AM[/editline]

Added hIO.MakeDirectory( directory )

[editline]08:59AM[/editline]

Added hIO.RemoveDirectory( directory )

[editline]09:03AM[/editline]

Fixed hIO.Write not checking if both arguments are strings.

[editline]09:14AM[/editline]

Added hIO.Rename( oldname, newname )

[editline]09:17AM[/editline]

Thread updated and latest gm_hio pushed. :v:

[editline]09:35AM[/editline]

Uh oh.. hIO.Write doesn't write to partitions. :byodood:

[Lixquid]

OMFG VIRUSES RUUUUUUUUUN

Serious business, this doesn't look to bad. It has a point, unlike some other projects you've been doing.

*cough*ResourceSmart*cough*

[Grocel]

It's nice, maybe add reading/writing file infos.
File/Dir exists functions would be also nice.
And does it also automatically create the directory if you crate a file in a directory that doesn't exists?

[Alex22]

Something like listFiles and listDirectories would also be nice.

[Helix Alioth]

Added hIO.FileExists( file ). I'll add the rest of the stuff you guys suggested before putting up the latest dll.

[editline]06:42PM[/editline]

Added hIO.DirExists( dir )

[editline]06:59PM[/editline]

Added hIO.Size( file )

[editline]07:24PM[/editline]

Thread and download links updated.

[Wizard of Ass]

Ok this module is now useful.

[Aide]

Nice.

I smell MSVC

[editline]07:05PM[/editline]

Yep, MSVC :(
Please compile without msvc deps, it's horrible to install them on WINE (or get them to work too)

Looks good otherwise, though. :)

I'm thinking about making an object-oriented version of this that uses IFileSystem. Does anyone think thats necessary?

IFileSystem is a bitch sometimes :v:

[thomasfn]

If you could make it multi threaded, and make it write data/read data to/from a pointer instead of a Lua string (so you could use it with gm_heap) that would be pretty cool.

[lilezek]

Broken link. Please, reupload it.

And the source?

[Python1320]

I've tried to find it but seems I don't have it any longer

Thanks. This might (seems to) port relatively easy to Linux. Gotta try at some point if no one else is doing that.

[amcwatters]

It seems to be a waste of time to use anything other than IFileSystem. You guys should just be expanding on file, not creating new libraries.

I need help, fast.

hIO is not loaded

[343N]

It is, it errors when it is also loaded using lua_run...
If it wasn't loaded, the line that uses HIO before it (hIO.MakeDirectory) would error.

[Map in a box]

It can't be loaded.

[editline]05:31PM[/editline]

'hIO' (a nil value)(Hook: Think)
Why are you doing that in a think hook

[Map in a box]

I cant write into the lua directory?

[editline]09:14PM[/editline]

automerge fail

[Jam]

Has anyone had a chance to remake this for Linux? It would be very useful to myself and a few others.
