Ok, I'm working on a game, and I'm currently writing the database portion, but to test it on the game, I need to create a database. Since I have no idea how to do this manually, I wrote a small program to write a database for testing. However, whenever I run it, it just displays:

I think either my FOR loop is malformed or my write string is malformed. Can someone please explain what I'm doing wrong please! Thanks is greatly appreciated.

I don't know what you really mean but heres what I'd do. i'd use this to genrate the database one for category one for clothes etc that can be done using this

Then after creating the database you would use arrays as a id such as item(5) I hope I didn't lose you there tell me if you don't get it.

Thanks! I didn't know that the file couldn't exist when you "'open' to write" Thank you very much! BTW your program worked, but I'd rather use my own to learn more about how to implement. Thank you very much!

It's your FOR loop. For loops work like this:



or, with your ID example,



Your WRITE STRING code looks fine to me Hopefully this should fix your problem.

Oh, and make sure that when you open a file for writing it doesn't already exist. You can check if it exists by using the FILE EXIST(filename) command and delete it using the DELETE FILE filename command.
