Hi!
I think you should be a little more specific pal.
Maybe if you tell:
-what are you using (mfc, console, win32... or any other) ?
-Do you want the number to represent the order the string was stored or it can be any number you give?
-The string has unlimited size or is a short array (256)?
We could help you better...

See ya!

SketchTurner is correct, you need to be more specific. Look up some of the following functions for basic C file i/o: fopen, fclose, fread, fwrite, fprintf, fscanf, fseek, ftell, fgetc, and fputc. They''re all in stdio.h.
