Hi, I was hoping someone could help me. I read in a unreal *.t3d map file and read all the vertex information from it, then write to a new file with only the vertex information. I have set it up to also count how many polygons are in the map file. But I want to put in my new file something like "Number of Polygons : 6". So after writing to my file with the vertex information, how can I go back to the start and insert the number of polygons into the file? Another question is can someone give me some tips on converting the 4 sided polygon information in these t3d files to 2 triangles instead of 1 polygon/quad. Here is my source so far. P.S. Yes I am very much a beginner...

    
#include "stdafx.h"

#include <stdio.h>

int num_of_vertex = 0;
int num_of_polygon = 0;
int polygonsides = 0;

char line[500];

FILE  *txt_file;
FILE  *write_file;

int main(void)
{
	txt_file = fopen("test.t3d", "r");
	write_file = fopen("myconvertedmap.txt", "w");

	if (txt_file == NULL)
	{
		printf("Unable to load data file!\n");
		return -1;
	}
	while(!feof(txt_file))  
	{ 
	fgets(line, 500, txt_file);
	float x = 0, y = 0, z = 0;
		if(sscanf(line,"Vertex %f,%f,%f", &x, &y, &z) == 3)
		{
				if(polygonsides==0)
				{
				num_of_polygon++;
				fprintf(write_file, "\nPolygon : %d\n",num_of_polygon);
				}
			polygonsides++;
			fprintf(write_file, "Vertex %f,%f,%f\n", x, y, z); 
		
			if (polygonsides==4)
			{
				polygonsides=0;
			}
		}
	}
		fclose(txt_file);
		fclose(write_file);
		return 0;
}
