Im confused on how to output data to a txt file.....

[INFERNO2K]

I have a game and I want to output the players name and his score next to his name

code:

var stremin :int %a var that is an int is needed to open a file var stremout :int %a var that is an int is needed to open a file open: stremout, "Highscores.txt", put %this will open a connection to send data write : name1, " - ", score1 write : name2, " - ", score2 close: stremout

I tried this but it doesnt work.

Also how would I be able to keep this txt file and everytime I run this program it will add a new line instead of replacing the existing information?

Thanks

read tutorial on writing to files.

if you're opening for put/get you use put get, NOT write/read

I've tried and all I get is a Cent symbol, C with a dash through it in the text file.

Ok I simply used

code:

var streamOut : int open : streamOut, "Highscores.txt", put put : streamOut, name1, "  -  ", score1 put : streamOut, name2, "  -  ", score2

Now Im confused on how I can keep that file and the program uses it to add onto it instead of replacing the original text.

open it with mod and seek as well

you really should read the help file for open and read the things listed under "see also" because it lists all the parameters (just type open in your editor, put the cursor on it and press f9 or just open the help and search for open)

any way for your purposes I believe this is what you want...

code:

var streamOut : int open : streamOut, "Highscores.txt", put, mod, seek seek : streamOut, *  %goes to the end of the file... put : streamOut, name1, "  -  ", score1 put : streamOut, name2, "  -  ", score2

close the file at the end
close (file)

that too

this code simply reads and prints text.txt

code:

var fileName : string := "text.txt"           % Name of file var fileNo : int                        % Number of file var ch : char open : fileNo, fileName, get loop     exit when eof (fileNo)     get : fileNo, ch     put ch .. end loop
