its crashing because its trying to read information that is not there. I think ÿ is equivalent to nothingness (not NULL), as ive had this same error before. just read one word, or line or whatever, and then compare it.
i suggest making the EOF text something like END, so its easy to put in if you have to edit the file offline. ----- Original Message ----- From: "dat one guy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Ben" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, August 19, 2002 9:22 PM Subject: Re: Changing the way skills and spells are handled... > Ok, I can understand that, but, how am I supposed to compare it if it crashes > when it tries to read it? > Or are you saying that the ÿ character is the 'end of file' character? and that > its not checking correctly? > > --- Ben <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If you keep looping (when reading) from the file, and each time check to see > > if the data read is equivalent to the text that marks the end of the file, > > it is important to have the correct format for comparing strings. > > > > Eg. > > > > if (strcmp(datafromfile,END_MARKER)) > > > > is different to > > > > if (datafromfile == END_MARKER) > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "dat one guy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> > > Sent: Monday, August 19, 2002 9:00 PM > > Subject: RE: Changing the way skills and spells are handled... > > > > > > > THen what? > > > I tried using str_dup, but the same thing happened...and why would it > > matter if > > > the problem is when its reading from the file?
