I appreciate the response from you guys. I have tried all the suggested functions ReadByte(), ReadShort() and ReadLine.ReadString and ReadLine() worked, however ReadByte, ReadShort() and ReadInt() are still not working.
Here are a list of functions, the chracter I put in the text file and how Blitz printed it to the screen:
ReadByte()
textfile Blitz output
4 = 52
ReadShort()
textfile Blitz output
12 = 12849
ReadInt
textfile Blitz output
4321 = 855373492
Here is the entire app I am using which produces these results the diffrence being that I experimented with swapping the ReadInt()for ReadShort, ReadByte, etc. My txt file was created in notepad and has no spaces in front of the chracter.
; Open the file to Read
filein = ReadFile("myFile.txt")
Read1 = ReadInt( filein )
Print Read1
WaitKey()
I am running a recently downloaded version of Blitz3D:
IDE v1.64 Linker v1.64 Runtime v1.64
Oddly enough the tutorial program described in WolRons tutorial is exactly what I wanted to do however I can not get it to Run because of(I think) the above problem.
