# data scalar import command

Syntax

data scalar import s <keyword>

Import scalars from file s. The extension scalar is added automatically if one is not given.

The file format (text or binary) is determined by opening the file and looking for the appropriate header. If the proper header is not found, an error is indicated and no data imported. If the group keyword is specified, imported scalars are assigned the specified group name. In the event of a conflict, this group assignment overrides any in the import file. The relevant file formats are fully documented in Scalar Text File Format and Scalar Binary File Format.

group s <slot s >

Assign the group name s to the slot Default. The optional slot keyword can be used to specify the slot.
