[Help] File Reading

[Oishi]

I'd like to be able to read and write different data types from files like integers, floats, doubles.

Here's and example of what I was talking about: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?rkmkomnfmyd

Its a file that contains spawn list of monsters in a particular map. The number it reads here is the number of monsters that are to be spawned.

Is there any include files already written to do/make this process any easier?

Thanks for any help.

P.S: Don't mind all the includes at the start, its just a list of defaults I like to work with.

Filewrite / fileread? Look in the help file.

[Oishi]

Yeah, I did, but its not exactly what I want. Download the example so you can see what I mean.

Can't you just post the example here?

You can't "read" floats and doubles from files, what you do is FileRead() them, and then use the DllStruct*() funcs to read it as different data types. Here is some nice code by Trancexx that reads information from bitmaps in that way.

Oh, ok. Thanks, that's what I needed to know. Thanks for helping.

I wasn't sure exactly what it was I had to do or even if autoit was capable of something like this. I just thought it would be better to find out before I continue on with the project.
