Hi Everybody, how i can load files like this: [NEW_POINT1] message = Hi x = 4 y = 3 [NEW_POINT2] message = Ha x = 5 y = 7 can somebody please help me? Thanx Lutz Hören

I am not going to spoon feed you the code, because quite frankly you should be able to figure it out without too much trouble. Do a little research on file input and output.

-------------------------
How you like them apples?

Well, you''d need to open the file in text mode, something like this

OPEN filename$ FOR INPUT AS #1

Then read a line of text in

INPUT #1,a$

And then parse the line,

IF a$="[NEW_POINT1]" THEN LET field=1

etc..

(I''m assuming QBasic here, you didn''t specify what language)

acw83, you don''t have to be such a dink, you had to start somewhere too.

PsYchOtroW, I''ll assume your trying to do read a *.INI in windows so try this:

GetPrivateProfileString(
LPCTSTR lpAppName, // section name
LPCTSTR lpKeyName, // key name
LPCTSTR lpDefault, // default string
LPTSTR lpReturnedString, // destination buffer
DWORD nSize, // size of destination buffer
LPCTSTR lpFileName // initialization file name
);

I think you figure the rest of it out.

"I can''t work like this! Where are my fuzzy dice?"

I pointed him in the right direction. But honestly, file input/output is pretty basic stuff.
