    Saving

    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
    Code:
    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"
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
