Thread: Saving and Importing text files

I've been writing an address book and its working good, i can save the information and in the text file its formatted right, it has new lined were its suppost to in all. When i go to load the file into the multi lined edit box that i want to display it in everything after the first line doesn't show up. how would i get this to work right
example:
in "address.dat"
John Doe 555 Evergreen Terris
Jane Doe 666 No where

the file looks fine in all but when i go and bring it into the edit box i only either get the first line with a wierd character after it or i get it all in one long string.

Any ideas
heres what i'm using to save the info to the file
fprintf(AddyList,"%s %s %s %s %s\n",FirstN,LastN,HouseNumb,Street,City);

What is the code? Are you able to read it from your program? What is the editor you are reading it with? Can it handle '\n' -marks?

The files being written fine each new entry is on a seperate line, thats because the \n worked fine, but when i open the file to view in an edit box inside my program is doesn't display anything past the first line even though its there in the program. I used the fopen fclose getf, setwindowtext getwindowtext.

ok
