import command improvement

Imports are a bit inscrutable at the moment. It would be nice if the 'import' button commented the lines it inserts with descriptive info

import(
 path : "3bf95367da7496dc5f19bf6c/d1068c2a6e0fdf68c9cba6a6/aa51840ef58770354c6dd517",
 version : "6cdb68bb3b66a2d24bc61ff9"); // User/Team: Bubba DocName: Super Features

Totally agree. We also want to make sure the actual import and the human-readable text don't go out of sync, so we have something a little fancier planned for this. Thanks for the feedback, and sit tight for the fix!

Here's a csv parser Iyla wrote:

function parseVertex(s is string) // Returns a unitless 3D Vector or undefined
{
    const regexp = "v\\s+" ~ REGEX_NUMBER_CAPTURE ~
        "\\s+" ~ REGEX_NUMBER_CAPTURE ~
        "\\s+" ~ REGEX_NUMBER_CAPTURE ~ "\\s*";
    const matches = match(s, regexp);
    if (!matches.hasMatch)
        return undefined;
    var result = makeArray(3);
    for (var i in [0, 1, 2])
        result[i] = stringToNumber(matches.captures[i + 1]);
    return vector(result);
}

The input file looks like this:

# Generated.

v 0.0060 0.4554 0.0050

vn 0.41 -0.49 -0.77

v 0.0060 0.4535 0.0060

vn 0.40 -0.51 -0.76

v 0.0020 0.4554 0.0033

and returns x,y,z; I guard this function and only pass in strings beginning with "v ".

You can re-purpose it to parse your file.

-Remember to add "csv" to the end of your uploaded file name.
-Don't try and rename file in OS, that stopped working a couple of weeks ago (I think it's still broken).
-watch for carriage returns at the end of file, that broke my parsing routine.
