Ok it's late and I must not be seeing this. I have a file

That looks like this:
Ab*** Gar****
Sam
*****
15
6
620
1720

I can read the data up to the integer. When I read the integer
and print it out I get very large integer numbers, rather than the number i read in. What am I doing wrong?

I have 3 ReadLine statements that assign to a string
then a ReadInteger

I am using


to print the value out.

What am I missing?

Sounds to me like you're trying to read in a string as an integer, and so you're getting the integer value of of the bytes "15\n6" instead of 15. ReadInteger reads in a binary integer, not a string. What you want to do is to read each number in as a string, and then use the Val function to convert that to an integer that you can use in your program.

Hope that helps.

Yep, what Lucas says. If you want to store the integer in a file, either store it as a string like you did and read it like this:

Val(Readline(fHandle))

Or write the integer to the file directly from AGK

Ok thank you both for the advice. I read the example from
file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/The%20Game%20Creators/AGK/IDE/Help/examples/files/1_reading.htm

and took it too literally. I've have switch to a string and conversion
method as you have indicated...off to find other issues as I learn the language. Thanks!
