Yea, but that brings up another question
If the structure of a record is actualy a series on
teminated strings, when you retrieve records, how do you
know the length of any field in that record
You just have to figure out a way to do this yourself.
You mean that a record is not normally just a single string
with delimiters
Like this
size = StrLen(name)+1+ StrLen(level)+1;
index = dmMaxRecordIndex;
h = DmNewRecord(dbPtr, &index, size);
ptr = MemHandleLock(h);
Offset = 0;
DmWrite(ptr, Offset, (const void *)name, StrLen(name)+1);
Offset += StrLen(name)+1;
DmWrite(ptr, Offset, (const void *)level, StrLen(level)+1);
err = DmCloseDatabase(dbPtr);
maybe im doing this all wrong
Um, actually I think you are doing exactly the same way I suggested,
except that you are calling DmWrite() several times, whereas I put
everything into a for loop to generalize it a little bit.
So, I don't think you're doing it all wrong. At least, if you are, then
that means I am too, and you should probably ignore my advice... :-)
