hello, i am attempting to create a sort of "resource file", i.e. put several objects into one large file, then access that file at the start, to tidy up my project folders. unfortunately, darkgdk does not seem to be able to actually write data into files. here is my test code.

Quote: "dbOpenToWrite
This command will open a file, ready for writing. The file must not exist or the command will fail. You can open up to 32 files at the same time, using a file number range of 1 through to 32.

Syntax
void dbOpenToWrite ( int iFile, char* szFilename ) "


You're creating it before calling dbOpenToWrite(), so it fails to open it.

The only option here is to use the C++ file methods or delete "Testconvert.lbr" before opening it to write.

*eye twitches, mouth agape*
so you are saying that there is no way to edit a file without deleting it? that seems a bit unnecessary and strange, but i'll try it.

Don't use the GDK file functions, they're crap, this sentiment generally goes for everything that you can otherwise do in C++ using any non-GDK library.
