Problem with file handle

[Jigroth]

Hello!

I got a thing that I can't solve out myself so I need some help here.

$a = 0x09868E40

$x = _MemoryRead($a,$handle)

MsgBox(0,"",$x)

$file = FileOpen("Experiencetable.txt",0)

$y = FileReadLine($file,86)

MsgBox(0,"",$y)

FileClose($file)

MsgBox(0,"",$y)

$z = $y - $x

MsgBox(0,"",$z)

I get the right numbers from memory read and from the file but when I subtract $y with $x I get totally wrong answer...

I tryed to just write the $y number and then it worked, but I need the file reading so how do I get it to work with that?

Is the $x and $y just a number, or are there letters in the string?

I bet when you read the info you get it as a string... you may be able to convert it back to a number by using the Num() function

Try this and report back:

$a = 0x09868E40
$x = _MemoryRead($a,$handle)

$file = FileOpen("Experiencetable.txt",0)
$y = FileReadLine($file,86)
FileClose($file)

$z = $y - $x

Msgbox(0, "", "$a = " & $a & @CRLF & "$x = " & $x & @CRLF & "$y = " & $y & @CRLF & "$z = " & $z & @CRLF & "$y-$x = " & (Number($y) - Number($x)))
