Hello

Do file commands work ?

For example, if I write:

dbReadFloat ( 1, myfloat ) ;

I get an error message saying that the function does not accept 2 parameters.
I tried also
myfloat = dbReadFloat(1);

it compiles but I get false value
thanks in advance for your help

Try this :

+ Code Snippet

void DarkSDK()
{
float value;

	dbOpenToWrite(1,"C:\\TEST.DAT");
	dbWriteFloat(1,(float) 12.45);
	dbCloseFile(1);

	dbOpenToRead(1,"C:\\TEST.DAT");
	value=dbReadFloat(1);
	dbPrint("Value:");
	dbPrint(dbStr(value));
	dbCloseFile(1);

	while (LoopSDK()) {
		if (dbEscapeKey())	break;

		dbSync();
	};
}

Hello
now it works, thanks.
May be I misunderstood but I thought that you can store up to 32 float values in the TEST.DAT file
I mean

dbOpenToWrite(1,"C:\\TEST.DAT");
dbWriteFloat(1,(float) 12.45);
dbCloseFile(1);
.......
.......
dbOpenToWrite(5,"C:\\TEST.DAT");
dbWriteFloat(5,(float) 13.60);
dbCloseFile(5);

But if I open to read the file #5

dbOpenToRead(5,"C:\\TEST.DAT");
value=dbReadFloat(5);

I alwayes get the first value = 12.45 instead of 13.60
