I'm making an text RPG at the moment, and been using a lot of (you guessed it!) text! It get's really messy with a whole bunch of 'string' variables and I want a cleaner way. I've looked at string tables, and saw that they were for win32 programs. Is their anyway of using these string tables resources for use in console applications?

You can write a Win32 console app, yes. Just include <windows.h>
You ever try a pink golf ball, Wally? Why, the wind shear on a pink ball alone can take the head clean off a 90 pound midget at 300 yards.
You can get the necessary module handle (to pass to LoadString) with GetModuleHandle().
All the buzzt!

You could also place all the text in a txt file and use <fstream> to read it into the program at various points, but perhaps a string table would be a better option
