Hello, I need some help with my game, GITBA. I want it upon start to see if there is a file called savegame.ini. or, read savegame.ini for certain info to say New Game or Load Game. Does DBPRO allow .ini files to be written directly from the program? Or do I use Notepad?
Thx,
Jim

You have to give time. No one is going to always anwser 1 hour before you post.

Dbpro can write any files you want using open to write and to put information in it use write string, write byte, write word, ect.. Then to read information use open to read and read string, ect.

Thx for answering. Slayer, does DBP actually write the .ini? or do I make it elsewhere?

it actually makes the file you want as long as you put the extension. So it would be something like this open to write filenumber, "Myfile.ini"

call the win32api functions specifically for INI file by loading the windows dll from dbp.

Start with GetPrivateProfileString, WritePrivateProfileString iirc
