I''m using BC++. I got an odd problem on loading info from text files. I do this: text file: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah 2 0 0 3 1 0 0 0 0 The first 2 lines correspond to the name and the description of the room. The 4 next lines corresponde to the exits, and the rest correspond to the items on the room. I do this to load it: ifstream infile("1.rom"); infile.getline(name, 50); //Name of the room infile.getline(desc, 255); //Description of the room infile >> room.exits[0]; //Room link to north exit infile >> room.exits[1]; //Room link to south exit infile >> room.exits[2]; //Room link to east exit infile >> room.exits[3]; //Room link to west exit infile >> room.objects[0]; //First object infile >> room.objects[1]; //etc... infile >> room.objects[2]; infile >> room.objects[3]; infile >> room.objects[4]; infile.close() Well, when i print out the info i got from loading my text file It confuses 2 variables: room.exits[3] and room.objects[0]. room.exits[3] gets the value of room.objects[0], making mistakes on my game. I dont get what happened.

Let me guess... the declaration of exits in your class is int exits[3] instead of int exits[4], and is followed by int objects[5]...

Since the exits array has only 3 elements, the address of exits[3] is the same as that of objects[0].

QED.
