Load a new DOT file
Load A New DOT File
Loading a new DOT file into the instance is very quick and can be saved to local data dictionaries for easier storage / parsing.
First, initialize a dotParse() class.
myDotParser = dotParse()
Next, call the parseNewDOT() method on a file path to the DOT file.
myDotParser = dotParse()
myDotParser.parseNewDOT('my/DOT/path.xlsx')
Finally, you can optionally save the parsed DOT into local dictionaries for easier parsing / storage (recommended).
myDotParser = dotParse()
myDotParser.parseNewDOT('my/DOT/path.xlsx')
myDotParser.dumpDictionaries()
Now, all DOT data will be saved to the /dictionaries folder. It will also stay loaded in the instance for as longas the myDotParser thread is alive, but can easily be loaded into a new instance.
