Variant attributes, Flatten to String


viSci

Recommended Posts

I often use variant attributes as a quick and dirty dictionary.  I found out that I could flatten my 'variant dictionary' and save

the flattened string to a file.  I tried to unflatten the saved string and reconstitute the variant and its attributes but am getting an error 116 (Unflatten or byte stream read operation failed due to corrupt, unexpected, or truncated data.)

I am using a variant constant because the variant dictionary I created has no datatype other than the attributes which are all 1D string arrays.

I am beginning to think that this might not be possible to do, but thought I would check in to make sure I am not overlooking something.
