Reading Tensor From File

Do you need to use a Tensor at all? I had some code that used Tensors, until I found that I could just use the FileHandle.read_bytes function. Here's my code...

Interacting with Desktop Files such as .pdf documents

I see that @maxim has a new string handling package out https://discord.com/channels/1087530497313357884/1151418092052815884/1273544370578133046 I am certain that his code will be much more efficient than mine. I haven't looked at it yet, though. In my case it's a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" 😉

Interacting with Desktop Files such as .pdf documents

Hi Andrey! In my parser code, where I needed to convert from the bytes to a string, I used this method...

@staticmethod
  fn vec_to_string(data: List[UInt8]) raises -> String:
    var result = String()
    for i in range(0, len(data)):
      if data[i] == 0x00:
        break
      result += chr(data[i].__int__())
    return result

@staticmethod
  fn vec_to_string(data: List[UInt8]) raises -> String:
    var result = String()
    for i in range(0, len(data)):
      if data[i] == 0x00:
        break
      result += chr(data[i].__int__())
    return result

Something similar should do the trick 😉

Hello Andrey. I would think it is possible. I've had a Bitwig preset parser up and running for a few months.. Have a look at https://github.com/carlca/ca_mojo.git and in particular the ./bitwig/preset_parser for some ideas. Essentially you just open a file using var f = open(file_name, "r") and then use methods like var data: List[UInt8] = f.read_bytes(size) to read the data. Or did you mean more specialised code geared towards PDF file in particular? I fear that for the moment, it's a case of using first-principles and a handy reference to the file-format in question.
