How would I go about loading a text file into an array (Layer2[13][130]) in Delphi? I can load text into a memo and other things, but havent been able to load an array or string or anything. HOW? How to get the MousePos in the window would also be usefull, I did it in another program of mine but dont remember how. Thanx in advance -Kevin Souter P.S. The game itself is being developed in C++ using OpenGL. Good ole NeHe. Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

Anybody??

Use binary files. They''ll take a lot less space. As for the commands well I''ve not used Delphi much I don''t know them.

Hey,
Try using the blockread() command, for example:-

var
t: file;
mapheader: array[1..5] of char;
data1: array[1..100] of char;
numread: integer;
begin;
assignfile(t,''C:\test\mymap.txt'');
reset(t,1);
blockread(t,mapheader,5,numread);
blockread(t,data1,100,numread);
closefile(t);
end;

Or if you want to stay nice and simple!! Try:-

var
t: textfile;
header, data1: string;
begin;
assignfile(t,''C:\test\mymap.txt'');
reset(t);
readln(t,header);
readln(t,data1);
closefile(t);
end;
