Whether you use a database, an INI file, the registry, or some text file, they are all still files. You have no choice but to use a file. What kind of file is still debatable. Are you wanting persistent storage, or just an in-memory data structure?

If you know STL, vector would handle your needs.

Read the information in MSDN on the different "containers", ie, vector, list quene(MS?),map and muti-Map. Then you can make an informative decision as to which "container" will suit your needs. Enjoy!!

If you email me directly (larryamillssr@hughes.net) I'll send you some production code showing you how to create a vector, use that vector, save that vector's data and how to retrieve it back and put it into a vector.

There are a lot of options, depending on many factors. You may for instance use a
XMLfile. If you need to be compact (XMLis verbose) you may choose a (custom) binary file (if you're usingMFC, have a look atSerialization in MFC[^] topic.SQLite[^] being serverless, maybe another option. ...

Serialization is far better. Anyway, if you want to use INI files, then you have use the functions (
GetPrivateProfileInt,...) listed at the bottom of this page [^]. Check out also this article [^]. :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.
