Hi,
I have a short question about preloading text files for a user interface.
I have x buttons on screen and for each button there is a description
shown on screen, once this button is selected.
For now I am fopen()/fgets()/fclose()ing it on every selection change.
When run from floppy this is very slow and noisy.
I thought about preloading it to a buffer, but maybe there is a better
way. That's why I am asking here.
My idea now looks something like this:
char *ptrarray[10];
ptr_array[0] = malloc(size_of_textfile);
copy_to(file0, ptr_array[0];
ptr_array[1] = malloc(size_of_textfile);
copy_to(file1, ptr_array[1];
...
Can I still use fgets() on these pointers once the file has been loaded
there?
Thanks,
Nils
