File writing

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/File writing

Hi,

I'm trying to read and write files but having some problems. I don't understand what I'm doing :) I can write one string to a file and saved but any more than that and I get an error.

Also with WriteString you have to specify the size of a string you're passing. Why is this? You didn't have to specify a size before.

I've got as far as Perturbatio's code here:-

I simply just want to write a load of strings to a file and then read them back.

I can't see what was wrong with the old Blitz way of writing to files. It was definitely much less complicated.

Help! :)
