I'm trying to make a RPG game and i want the user to be able to save the game and open it when they feel like it. So i have all the stats of the character saved on a save file. the layout of the save file is exactly like this

Level
1
Experience
25
Health
85
and so on...

When the user decides to open a saved game, I want the program to read every other line (the values) and put them as variables in the code. Any idea of how i can get the program to just read the values and take them as an array of integers?

Save just the numbers and just ignore the words... so it would be like:

1
25
85
and so on...

I was thinking of doing that but then it would make it harder for me to follow the text file since I'll probably have to play around with the numbers a bit. Is there any way to get the program to read every other line?

Nevermind i found a solution... may not bed the best but it works and thats good enough for me right now lol

code:

open : stream_in, "stats-save.dat", get
for i : 1 .. 14
    get : stream_in, stats (i)
end for
for i : 1 .. 14
    if i mod 2 = 0 then
        a := a + 1
        statsvalue (a) := strint (stats (i))
    end if
end for

Try this instead:

code:
for i : 1 .. 14 by 2
     % All that other stuff.
end for
