Trying to figure out Database commands in DarkBasic Classic.

I 'm trying to write out if list of strings and Integers for Player statistic tracking, but any integer I 'write' does not come out as readable text, which command should I be using?

Thanks for the help

PS:anyone know how to get a return_line charcter in there?

return is chr$(13) so just do

a$=str$(number)+chr$(13)

be careful doing that though, you might mess up the way DB writes information to files, it must use it`s own delimiter to seperate text etc, it might be chr$(0), but then again it might be chr$(13), so adding in extra control codes might mess up the information, for example

123
456
789

might end up as

123

456

789

with a null string between entries, I should take it as read that DB seperates the characters and just add anything extra in as you seperate the entries.

Thanks for the assists guys, It's helped a lot. If it's not too much trouble, I was hoping someone might also have info on DBclassic and loading functions and code from other files. I was hoping to divvy my code into different files for more managbility. Thanks again!
