_read

Public Sub _read ( Stream As Stream )

The _read method is called by READ instruction to unserialize an object.

The READ instruction will first instanciate the object, and then call the _read method on it.

This will work only if the _new constructor can be called with no argument.

The method takes the target stream as argument, and must read the stream to initialize the newly created object.

This method returns nothing.

Examples


Dim Item1 As New MyClass
Item1.abc = 123
Item1.def = "456"
Print "In:  " & Item1.abc & "-" & Item1.def

Dim f1 As File
f1 = Open "~/item.bin" For Write Create
Write #f1, Item1 As Object 'MyClass
Close f1

Shell "hexdump -C ~/item.bin"

Dim f2 As File
f2 = Open "~/item.bin" For Read
Dim Item2 As MyClass = Read #f2 As MyClass
Close f2

Print "Out: " & Item2.abc & "-" & Item2.def
