I''m trying to load my world from text files as in tutorial 10 on Nehe''s OpenGL page, I''m managing to load it all in using %d for integer''s %f for floats etc, however I''m having some trouble reading in strings from the files, does anyone know the appropriate control character? THANKS

You can use %s.

%s ?

thanks, so to convert whatever variable I read that to into a char* for fopen I''d just need to use char* f=var.c_str()??

Hello cippyboy,

%s ... is for string. For example printf() example of %s or %i

Full explanation is there.
