how can i make a simple database, by just asking a question the user inputs it, and then it saves it to the same file, so the user can actually come back and the information will still be there even if the program was restarted... i need lots of help Very Happy

well if you simply want to write down some values to use later on... simple file i/o will do fine. It gets a bit more complicated if you want to write down records Confused

var streamnumber : int
open : streamnumber, "myfile", put, mod, seek
seek : streamnumber, *
put : streamnumber, "This appears at the end of the file"

You could try reading the file at teh beginning and put the data into an array and read the stuff from there...

P.S. There is harder things to do in Turing, such as making a 3-D Triangle spin that has coloured faces...
