Saving

[PJYelton]

I've just started scripting and have written a small prog that playes blackjack with the user. What I was wondering, how would I make it so the game saved the amount of money the user won and then loaded this amount the next time the game is played?

Um.. I know how to save in C and C++, but I don't know how to do it in Unix scripting which is what the program is written with.

Here's one way

SCORE=10

echo "SCORE is $SCORE"

echo $SCORE>score.txt

SCORE=0

echo "SCORE is $SCORE"

if [ -f score.txt ]
then
SCORE=$(cat score.txt)
fi

echo "SCORE is $SCORE"
