Newbie need help

-----------------------------------

Hello, im trying to define an array using words read from a file but i don't really know how, this is my best guess so far. Thx


var search : string
var streamin : int
var word : string
var itemcount : int

open : streamin, "Drawer.txt", get
assert streamin > 0
itemcount := 0

loop
get : streamin, skip
exit when eof (streamin)
get : streamin, word
itemcount := itemcount + 1
end loop

put itemcount
var items : array 1..itemcount of string
for i:1..itemcount
get streamin, items (i)
end for

for i:1..itemcount
put items(i)
end for

eh... well you're missing the colon in your 2nd get.

and you should close and reopen the file to start reading from the beginning again after you finished counting.

I'd tell you to just use a flexable array and have a single loop instead, but that might be a bit too advanced... :think:
