Text file

[projectboy]

Hi
I am developing a system that will link to a Blockbuster video rentals system. This is for a university project.
The existing system is written in C and it is a dos based system using text files for its tables e.g. titles file, members file etc
We need to be able construct one of these text files but I have no idea what kind of structure it would be in since due to store policy we cannot look at the text files.
Is there anyone here who has worked with similar systems and would know something about the structure of such text files in a system like what Blockbuster video uses?

Any information at all would be greatly appreciated

Thank you for your time

Would it really have to be the same format? I mean, since you don't work for Blockbuster, and no one else there's gonna know what the format it, does it really matter?

Perhaps you can try downloading one of these video rental software demos here:

That might give you an idea on what info is hidden in those text files.
