Importing Imagesin Different Dirs... (Era of War)

[BioHazardousWaste]

I understand the Pic command pretty well now I think, but I couldn't find how to do this last thing... how do you import a file from a different directory? e.g. To import a light tank

Import Pic

code:

var PicID : int var filename : string filename := ("LTank.jpg") PicID :=  Pic.FileNew (filename) Pic.Draw (PicID, 25, 150, picMerge)

I tried using the directory in the filename string, but to no avail Turing gives me the error "Illegal picture ID number '0'", on the line

code:

filename := ("m:\tank.bmp").

I also got that error if the picture wasn't in the same directory of my program. NOTE: I am doing this at school, and my "personal" drive is labelled M:... Would the network make this error?

Unworking Code:

code:

var PicID : int var filename : string filename := ("m:\Era Of War\Pics\LTank.jpg") PicID :=  Pic.FileNew (filename) Pic.Draw (PicID, 25, 150, picMerge)

And yes, i'm quite positive the picture is in that directory!

try "m:\\Era Of War\\Pics\\LTank.jpg" insted of "m:\Era Of War\Pics\LTank.jpg"

turing's way of speffing dir lines is a bit wired

i read in the Turing Reference somewhere, that you must use double \\ because a \<command> indicates to the program that there is a switch there, like in DOS, dir /p gives you all files in the dir by pages

Thanx guys, I figured it was somethin simple like that.
