You could use the SAVE ARRAY / LOAD ARRAY commands.
Or you could use the file commands.

Not such a dumb question, I'm having the same problem myself.

I've just got DarkBasic having used QBasic for many years although I was never what you might called skilled!

In QBasic you could use a Do until EOF() type loop to write data from an array to a file and you would end up with a database something like:-

Name, Rank, Number
Name, Rank, Number
Name, Rank, Number
Name, Rank, Number

You could then use a silmilar loop to read a certain line of data back into the array.

I've used Load Array but had to have the file in the following format for it to work:-

Name
Rank
Number

Rather limiting.

Now I know there's a way to do what I want in DarkBasic, I just can't figure it out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

I believe in order to LOAD ARRAY you have to have saved it with SAVE ARRAY as it is encrypted.

Check out this current thread for ideas...

It's not encrypted, but it is in a special format

A better post for loading/saving arrays is here : http://darkbasic.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=16810&b=7
