| If I save a text file in NotePad how can I read into my program.?Also How can I detect when there is a new line character code in the text file (for lists)? Appreciate any help - Thank you |

Adjusted slightly from the docs :
' readfile.bmx
' the following prints the contents of this source file
file:TStream=ReadFile("test.bmx")
If Not file RuntimeError "could not open file openfile.bmx"
While Not Eof(file)
Print ReadLine(file)
Wend
CloseStream file

| Hi m8. Here is some code I use to save highscores! To save!
success=CreateFile("high.txt")
If Not success RuntimeError "error creating file"
file=WriteFile("high.txt")
If Not file RuntimeError "failed to open test.txt file"
For i=0 To 9
For j=0 To 1
WriteLine file, highscores$[i,j]
Next
Next
CloseStream file
To Load!
file=ReadFile("high.txt")
If Not file RuntimeError "failed to open high.txt file"
For i=0 To 9
For j=0 To 1
data$=ReadLine (file)
highscores$[i,j]=data$
Next
Next
CloseStream file

| After you get that working you really should create some kind of system for encrypting highscore data. You want people making high scores with your game instead of Notepad. ;) |

| OK - Thanks guys! - that worked great I thought that maybe it was in a special file format or something and I was looking in the wrong place in the docs. Thanks again! :) |
