I want to load a lot of images, butIm not sure how to assemble the strings correctly.

I have 4 images called

image_01.bmp
image_02.bmp
image_03.bmp
image_04.bmp


How do I write the program to load them with not much code?


for n=1 to 4
imagestring$="image_0" n ".bmp",n
load image filenamestring$,image
next n


how do I get the correct number as "n" into the string?

GIve me more power!

For less than 10 images


For more than 10 images EDIT: or you could just drop the first zero and use the above method. Didn’t think of that when I wrote it. D'oh!



Just in case Pincho’s had enough lol

Thank you I got the code working, now to finish the graphics loading routine! I reakon Im gonna have 50x4x3x5frames to organise, so I need to split them up into race,colour,unit,action,frame so I get a huge number, but easy to read. The code for the first frame is 11101001, and I noticed that if I used a number that was 10xlarger the image wouldnt load, so I think the highest number you can use for an image number is 99,999,999.
