+ Code Snippet

	dbOpenToRead ( 1, "TileSet.txt" );
	char* c;
	for ( int i = 0; i < tX; i++ )
	{
		for ( int o = 0; o < tY; o++ )
		{
			c = dbStr( Tile[i][o] );
			dbReadString ( 1, c );
		}
	}
	delete c;

So my code is supposed to read the file string and add it to my Tile array in its respective position. The problem is, it wont do this because I have no idea what I am doing

I have tried doing dbReadString, dbReadLong, and neither of them will work. What might I possibly be doing wrong?

Tile[][] is an int.

		{
			char c;
			dbReadString ( 1, &c );
			Tile[i][o] = c;
		}
	}

assuming each character in the file will represent an int from 0-255 (byte), this should work, by the way, i think you should reverse the i and o, because you will have x and y swapped
