is it possible to use a file refnum as an input of mathscript node

Hi everybody,

I just began to use LV and mathscript recently. One problem confused me a lot.  That is,

Is it possible to use a file refnum as the input or output of mathscript node? A picture is attached for your reference.

Thanks a lot!

What would you hope to do with the reference?  The Mathscript node doesn't have a file reading capability.  You need to read the file and pass the data into the Mathscript node.

EDIT: I stand corrected.  You need to use the fopen and fclose functions inside of the MathScript node to be able to read a file inside of it.

Hi Crossrulz, got it, So it means no corresponding data type of file refnum in mathsript, or to be converted.

Thanks for your support!
