and i want to assign each value to a variable ( a=100, b=255, c=255, etc.). I tried reading from the manual but i can't get it to work so how can i accomplish this? Thanks!

You can use C++ code for this. This example is not specific to DarkGDK, but you can easily throw in the relevant code.

+ Code Snippet


#include <fstream>

int main() { // Entry point in C++

    int arraySize = 20; // Size should be as many variables as you have data to read in

    int array[arraySize];

    ifstream fin; // Declares a stream to read data from a file, the "fin" can be renamed to what ever you like.

    fin.open("YourFileNameGoesHere"); // Make sure you include the extension of the file you want to read in, such as .txt

    // This stores each line of data into an array element
    int i = 0;
    while(!fin.eof()) {
        fin >> array[i];
        i++;
    }

    fin.close(); // Closes your file after you have all your data
}
