Hi

I am really confused. I've looked at other programs and they can open text files, but when i open the in DB, it jumbles my data around and f@#$'s up my program.

Any Ideas?

If your menu is written in 2D over 3D then just call set camera view 0,0,0,0 before your menu and set camera view 0,0,screen width(),screen height() after your menu. This "gets rid" of 3d and then retrieves it again at the end.

About the text file, in the second snippet it should be close file 1.

depending on how you've saved the data depends on how you retrieve... for example the snippet above is all fine and dandy for notepad created documents.

however for text documents out of C/C++ you'd want something more like



would be more appropriote... its all about how the file was first made

i tried the method shown first, but it jumbled up the text.

Probably cos it was DB 1.13

I'm getting DBPro on the weekend

I hope that'll work better
