Hi Everybody
I need to know if i can use readfile to read branches from an txt file where every time i run the number of column changes so the branches changes (the user define the number of column )
How i can do it
thanks

Hi,

if I understand the problem, it is enough to set the proper branch descriptors, for example reading the beginning of the file before invoking the ReadFile method.

Cheers,

See the TTree::ReadFile method description (note the case in which the branchDescriptor = “”).

You simply put the description of all your (“data file” specific) branches In the very first line of your text “data file” (the remaining lines should simply contain data for all columns).
Then, you can execute something like:

TTree *t = new TTree("t", "my tree"); t->ReadFile("MyDataFile.txt"); // all branches are "defined" in the very first line
