i forget how it's done: read lines from .txt

[MisterN]

i forgot how it's done since I haven't used it in awhile and I can't find the thread that had the information and how to use it. how can I read this .txt file:

*moving left
left
*moving right
right
*shooting
control
*jumping
alt

and putting each line into string conkey[8];
thanks

something a bit like this (more or less)

Code Select Expand


textfile_id = fopen ("commands.txt", O_READ);


for (c = 0; c < 8; c++)
     conkey [c] = fgets (textfile_id);
end
   
fclose (textfile_id);
[size=78%]




b.t.w. do also mean to interpret the commands? you can use the strcasecmp() or find() functions to test if line contains valid input, and act accordingly.

i am using this

Code Select Expand

menu.conkey_map = fopen("conkey.txt", O_READ);
for (c = 0; c < 8; c++)
     conkey [c] = fgets(menu.conkey_map);
end 
fclose(menu.conkey_map);
it says it does not know what o_read is. these are what i have loaded in the beginning

thank you very much. ive been working on my engine in bits, and when i finish every little detail of each part, ill join them together. ive learned my lesson on that lol xD

Joining things together. That's an exciting part, that's where the design of a project starts to show it's effect. I've learned my lessons too.
I have started a new project because my editor's gui is showing it's limitations. I have just started on creating a simple gui library but it's in a very early stage. But I'm not sure of it will have textinput because it's kinda complicated to get right. I am waiting for a new version of the android packager so I can finally get malvado on android. (samsung has recently updated my devices to android 4.1).
