Strings and Probes

[Doug Donalson]

I would like the user to be able to enter file names via the model probe.  This means that I need to have the probe handle a string.  So far I have not had any success, any suggestions?

 

Say one of my file names will be stored in "char dataInputName[40]",

Can I just make a probe by:

 

[probeMap addProbe: [probeLibrary getProbeForVariable: "dataInput"

inClass: [self class]]];?

This does not seem to work.  I didn't find any examples in the swarmapps either.

Cheers,

   D3
