Hi,
my problem is that I've got a file in which I've written a string and two integers and I'm trying to read them with this function:
1void read(char* path){
2 file=al_fopen(path,"r");
3
4 char str[256];
5 int mapx, mapy;
6
7 //string
8 int i=-1;
9 do{
10 i++;
11 al_fread(file,&str[i],sizeof(char));
12 }while(str[i]!='\0');
13
14 //2 integers
15 al_fread(file,&mapx,sizeof(int));
16 al_fread(file,&mapy,sizeof(int));
17
18 al_fclose(file);
19}
but it seems that my solution to read a string takes one byte more from the file as it should and so my string is "tiles1.bmpd" instead of "tiles1.bmp" and the following ints have the values 6553600 and 0 instead of 100 and 100.
Does anyone have a better solution for reading strings?
thanks for all answers
