writing data to a file
Author
ok, I have an empty text file. I open the file, try to write some stuff to it, and close it. Like this:
There are some mistakes in this line:
file=fopen("Data/gamecfg.txt","rt");
it should be:
file=fopen("Data\\gamecfg.txt","r+");

file=fopen("Data/gamecfg.txt","rt");
it should be:
file=fopen("Data\\gamecfg.txt","r+");

It''s because you are opening the file for read access only.

Doesn''t "rt" mean "read only text"? You want to have "r+t" so you can read and write at the same time.

That''s not true, / works too, and for maximum portability you should always use / instead of \ when writing paths. DOS and Windows support both / and \ as directory and drive separators, but Linux and Unix only support /. So using / will save you some time if you port your game to Linux/Unix

Ok i just checked the VC++ help file, i didn''t realize "t" was actually an access mode. So acraig is correct, it would be "r+t"
BTW, thanks for the tip Muzzafarath, i never knew that you could use the foward slash in filenames
