Saving Private Data

[sibarrick]

I've been looking at the SOP_BlindData example has anyone here done anything similiar but with float arrays or numbers not strings?

I notice UT_Vector* has save and load methods but can't find anything for floats or arrays.

For future reference got this from support

I would *not* use the save/load methods of UT_IntArray. You

might want to do something like

int nints = array.entries();

UTwrite(os, &nints, 1);

UTwrite(os, array.data(), nints);

Then load it in a similar fashion.

Make sure that there's a UT_CPIO packet around the data though,

otherwise, Houdini will have a hard time dealing with it :-)

Oh, you might want to save out a version number, in case your save

format changes in the future...
