Hi Foamers,
I need to read a list of lists from a dictionary composed as follows:

listName
number of elements
(
(a b c d e f)
(g h i l m n)
....
)


where letters are labels. Something like blockMesh does when reading the blocks in blockMeshDict.
Can someone suggest me how to do it?
Thank you in advance,
Ivan

Hi Ivan,

Knowing there's another piece of code that already does what you want is half the answer: If I was you, I would have a look at the source code for blockMesh, and see what it does to read the blockMeshDict.

I read in labels from a file using labelIOList, which is just a typedef for IOList<label>, so I imagine labelListIOList (IOList<labelList>) is what you want. It's probably used as follows:

labelListIOList listListName
(
IOobject
(
"listListName",
runTime.time().constant(), // Assuming your dictionary is in constant/
mesh,
IOobject::MUST_READ,
IOobject::NO_WRITE
),
variable of type List<labelList>
);

It looks like the functionality you looking for with reading the listList from a dictionary is in the file createTopology.C in the blockMesh folder.

Thank you Laurence,
I tested your solution, and it works fine for me!

Hello

Could you (Laurence or Ivan) please elaborate a little bit more how to achieve the reading in of a list. Say I want to read in the list "datP" that is (0.5 5.0 10.0) from the a file called "Data" in the constant directory. I followed the solution of Laurence but my lack of knowledge of C++ is not helping

In my my main program (solver):

#include "labelListIOList.H"

and

#include "readData.H"

readData.H looks as follows:

labelListIOList Data
(
IOobject
(
"Data",
runTime.time().constant(),
mesh,
IOobject::MUST_READ,
IOobject::NO_WRITE
),
labelList(datP)
);


I know the labelList(datP) is not correct. My Data file looks as follows (all files include headers):

datP (0.5 5.0 10.0);

Kind regards

Dear All,

I tried to create IO object of type labelListList using the information i found in this thread which is given below

Code:
labelListIOList proxCells
(
IOobject
(
"proxCells",
runTime.time().constant(), // Assuming your dictionary is in constant/
mesh,
IOobject::NO_READ,
IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
),

);
I tried compiling it but i get an error as shown below
Code:
 p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }  findProxCells.C: In function 'int main(int, char**)':
 findProxCells.C:95:1: error: expected primary-expression before ')' token
 make: *** [Make/linux64GccDPOpt/findProxCells.o] Error 1
Can some one tell me what i am missing in definition ?

Have a nice weekend !!

Dear All,

Finally i found a solution, here it is !!

Code:
IOList<labelList> proximityCells(
      IOobject(
                "proximityCells",
                runTime.time().constant(),
                mesh,
                IOobject::MUST_READ,
                IOobject::NO_WRITE
            )
     );
Please correct me if i am wrong !
