More Strings

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/More Strings

I'm trying to read a file of randomly sized strings. If I use readline I just get a whole line of strings.

You need to read the int when you're reading an old skool Blitz string.
I just really can't believe that you can WriteString but can't read it back using it's alter ego command ReadString.

So you're really saying that I have to manually store the size of the string first and then save the string in order to read it back correctly.

Lame.
