Loading RAW files
Author
I''m having troubles figuring out how to load RAW files (3d format)
The format basically goes like this:
[NAME]
[vertex1 xyz] [vertex2 xyz] [vertex3 xyz]
and one line is one triangle
now what i need to do is to not read in the name of the object, and just read the 3 values, than move to the next vertex... read it, and so on. My main problem is making sure I''m not reading the name.

What you''re trying to do is called "parsing." You can search for it on the web and find many tutorials AND functions that will show you how to parse strings and get the tokens you need. I would suggest looking at the function strstr(), strcpy(), atof(), strchr(), etc...

Either I suck at searching, or I''m lazy. You decide 
But I can''t find anything thats related to C++ and parsing hehe. Got any links you might have?

Erg, use stdio.h and all you need to do is:
char Text[256];
Vertex v;
FILE *fil = fopen(filename, "rt");
fscanf(fil, "%s\n", &Text[0]); // for the name
fscanf(fil, "%f %f %f", &v.x, &v.y, &v.z); // for each point
fclose(fil);
its that simple, although enclose some stuff in a loop, basically those standard functions do the parsing for you... I know this works becuase I did it last night

Ahh thanks I couldn''t figure out how to do it Well accutally I''m getting places with code I saw on a OBJ loader, but that is pretty different. I accutally read a string, and than parse the string. So I guess I could use that function "readnextline" which checks for comments, empty space, or anything like that.
And that is passed a string which it inserts the next good line. It''s real nice. I got it from glvelocity.gamedev.net
Thanks...that gave me a good idea (how to check for text... i was accutally pretty dumb, and was having a fuss on how to figure out how many lines there are, but I could just go till FEOF() finds eof..)
And if anyone wants to see my code once I finish, please contact me:

Accutally I looked at my code and I do read from the file I just use a string to see what the next stuff is.... guess I need a reworking on the.. umm "engine"

My code is going screwy. After I saw your post... I deleted all my code..and started almost from the beginning and used the text loading thing, but now my program keeps yelling at me that it can''t load the floating point from the raw file!!! Any suggestions? I even delted the text and the text code but it still wont work.

This is getting VERY messed up that I can''t even explain what its doing. Basically I just made a vertex to test it out, and than using the %f thing doesnt work.. and than I do %d.. and it loads the first number + some hex code, and than when I change it to %f it works. But when I make it for all the verticies in the mesh with %f it starts giving me the runtime errors again or just gives me null for each value...I think I''m replying to myself too much Wish I had the old code.. I think I posted it on the fourms, but can''t find it now!

This is my code for loading a .raw file (specifically one produced by Rhinoceros3D). In Rhino, all my meshes are named ''object#'' (ex: object14). so i just look to see if theres an ''object'' string in there. and to for numbers, i expect a ''.'' (decimal) somewhere in the number. this is kinda restrictive but it was easier. I''ll try to include structures so it won''t be so messy:
