Re: A89: Reading and storing data to and from external files
No, I've lookd over FileLib -- I don't want to run an external program, I
just want to access the data in it. Like if I have level data in one file,
how could I read it from another? And if I made a level editor, how could I
save (write) the data to another file? Like how Super Mario Quest's Level
Editor writes the data to an external string file -- how does it do that? (I
know Don Barnes is on this list =) Thanks. . .
