Re: [hlcoders] file reading from...

hmmm... I've done a mistake in my previous message...   while ( pbuffer && *pbuffer != ' ' )     pbuffer++;   It's better like this :)   -------------------------------------------------------- Cortex HL Albator coder & mapper www.hlalbator.fr.st ICQ : 71548738 -------------------------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: Cortex To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2002 5:13 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] file reading from... If I've good understand, it does like :   char* pbuffer = ...; pbuffer++; // => equal to gEnfuncs.COM_ParseFile ??   But... I've just finished the "parse part" I was talking about in the previous mail :) I used the fopen/fgets solution and it works great :)   -------------------------------------------------------- Cortex HL Albator coder & mapper www.hlalbator.fr.st ICQ : 71548738 --------------------------------------------------------   ----- Original Message ----- From: Christopher Long To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2002 1:50 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] file reading from... gEngfuncs.COM_ParseFile --> this grabs tokens out of the file. you must COM_LoadFile first though i think actually i'm sure..   then from the file you just keep using ParseFile and it'll start drawing tokens out of the file. A token is basically anything till the white space happens ie   hello this is a file   doing it the first time would drag out "hello" and the second time would drag out "this" etc. Well i fiddled with it and thats what i more or less thought.. seems to be right to me but i may be wrong. ----- Original Message ----- From: Cortex To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2002 8:33 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] file reading from... I have a question... What does gEngfuncs.COM_ParseFile function do ?? I don't know how to use it ! Actually, I parse a file character per character with gEngfuncs.COM_LoadFile...   Thx   -------------------------------------------------------- Cortex HL Albator coder & mapper www.hlalbator.fr.st ICQ : 71548738 --------------------------------------------------------   ----- Original Message ----- From: Christopher Long To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2002 4:39 AM Subject: [hlcoders] file reading from... gEngfuncs.COM_ParseFile takes tokens from the file and with it i can keep grabbing tokens but each token is delimited by white space.   char* pFile = gEngfuncs.COM_LoadFile("commandmenu.txt", 5, NULL);   pFile points to commandmenus contents so i have a pointer to whats in the commandmenu.txt but thats all of it :/.   What i was after was if there is a way to grab from a file one line at a time until it hits the newline character '\n'.   i have done it so far with grabbing chunks one at a time checking each character to see if its a new line then setting back the location read... it works but i don't like the way i have done it :(.   All i was after is if there is a better way to read one line at a time till the end line char is reached..... or do i have to start including fstream.h to start doing this type of stuff?   also another thing is i was after what each of the variables COM_LoadFile takes is?   ("commandmenu.txt", 5, NULL); i realise the first string is the file to draw it from dunno what the 5 is??? someone enlighten me and from looking i am guess where NULL is you can send a length variable to have returned the length of the file or something?? but i am not sure only NULL seems to be used everywhere.   thanks to anyone that can help.
