Hey, just wanted to let you guys know. I just read some tutorials at gametutorials.com and the way they write to files is complicating. I've found a easier way. Why didn't gametutorials use this?
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
FILE *fp;
char filename[30]="SomeFile.txt";
fp= fopen(filename, "w");
fprintf(fp, "This is Test");
fclose(fp);
system("pause");
return 0;
}
Probably because you do no error checking:Quote:

Anyway, without knowing anything about what you're talking about (Where's your link? What tutorial? Where's the code you're comparing this too?), how am I supposed to guess why they didn't use your code?Quote:
fp= fopen(filename, "w");
Besides, there are many ways to write to a file.

click on tutorials, then C , and look for their file outputing tutorial.
I don't see your problem? What exactly is your complaint? What is so hard to understand? For that matter, how is their example any different than yours?Quote:

How the ____ is that confusing??Quote:
Code:////////////////////// FPRINTF() ////////////////////////
// Like printf(), fprintf() works exactly the same. Instead of printing to the screen,
// It prints it to a file. You need to give it a file pointer as the first parameter.
fprintf(fp, "\n\n"); // This will move the file pointer down 2 lines in the text file.
fprintf(fp, "Player: %s\n", szName); // Here we save the Name of the player to the file.
fprintf(fp, "Health: %d\n", health); // Here we save the "health" of the player to the file.
fprintf(fp, "Gold: %d\n", gold); // Here we save the "gold" of the player to the file.
// fclose() passes in the file pointer and closes the file for us. (very important)
fclose(fp); // We must always close the file after we are done with it. It frees memory and make's it so we can access it again.
Do you just not know how to use printf? That is the whole point of using fprintf: so you can use it exactly like printf and print formatted data to a file.

ok.........calm down sir.
From a newbie standpoint, how would......nevermind. Forget it ,I'll probably be bashed anyways.
Is that the code from the tutorial ? If it is then:
>I've found a easier way
What easier way did you find ? Please explain, because it appears both your (Golden Bunny's) example and the tutorial use fprintf().
I wasn't bashing you. I was asking how is that not simplistic? What point are you having trouble with?Quote:
