i have an array which will determine the block types for each block on each level. It ends up being over 1000 lines! cos there are 10 levels each with 100 block spaces.
dim block(10,10)
block(1,1) = 5
block(1,2) = 7
etc down to
block(10,10) = 1
that for 10 levels! it gets a little repetitive, I have seen people store data in one line separated by commas, how do you do this and how do you extract the relevant data?

store the data using

data 1,2,3,4,5,56,6,7,8,3,53,45,34,52345,345,345
etc

then you can read the data in using

read block(1,1)

This will read the first number on the list into block(1,1). That piece of data is now used up and the next time you use the read command, it will read the next piece of data into the variable.

Why the hell'd you ask me for crying out loud!?!

why not use a for loop for the loading bit like:

FOR L = 1 TO 10
READ BLOCKS(1,L)
NEXT L

that would make it less, or would it?
