How do I make a database type thing in DBC.
How do you save names and passwords so that when they open the program back up it will recognize their name and password?
Thanks

One way I can think of off of the top of my head is to use the Write file command and the read file command's. Check the help files they are good for these types of things. if you are still clueless Iw ill devise a little code for you but please my time is limitted, and you'll learn more doing it yourself.

And the sun sets on our oblivion.

Sorry I tried as hard as I could, but I couldn't even remotely get it to do what I wanted it to do?
Sorry, I don't want to use up all your time, but could you do a little tut or just some code for me?

This is what im trying to do:

First I want to have it where it asks if they want to open a domain or make one, if they say they want to make one, i want it to ask for a name and password, and then save these in like a txt file or something, if they say they want to open one it asks them for an input of name an password and then it checks if the input matches whats in a previously made txt file, then it clears the screen and then says :
Welcome (Persons name)!
Then it asks if they want to close this one or exit, if they choose to exit then it exits ofcourse, but if they choose to close this one then it closes it and starts all over.

Sorry if that's too much for you and if you don't want to do it then I understand, but if you just want to do something else that will teach me how to do someting close to this and is alot shorter then that's ok too.
Thanks again!

Cheers,

the file commands are all basically the same. just use some variables instead of types.

Thanks that helped me understand some of what I want to do, but not all of it. CaseyK if you're still gonna write the code for what I want to do I would greatly appreciate it. I still don't understand how to read the text on a text file?
Thanks again!
