Hi everyone, This is a sample program in pascal with the aid of a little assembly. Assume that Mode 13h is being made before this line of code by INT 10H. Does DirectDraw has this some sort of function? ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Writes a pixel dot of a specified color at a specified screen coordinate. On entry: AH 0Ch AL Pixel color CX Horizontal position of pixel DX Vertical position of pixel BH Display page number (graphics modes with more than 1 page) Returns: None Registers destroyed: AX, SP, BP, SI, DI ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ As seen from our SetMCGA example, you would write this by doing the following:mov dx,[y] mov bx,[1] int 10h end;**END; "We are all the same in different ways" Kuroro Rucilful

See maybe it is some helpful to you CString str; TCHAR lpc[20]; TCHAR Buffer[20]; lpc[0]='\0'; (1) str.Format("%d",123); (2) wsprintf(lpc,"%d",456); (3) itoa(789,Buffer,10); _** **_ whitesky

Thanks a lot bro... i'm digging in it. :-D "You have to be in a situation where you see just how fast things fail to make you take it seriously, I guess. " Bruce Eckel

Can you be more specific_** **_ whitesky

To me, each line looks like a struct constisting of a std::string, 3 ints and a std::vector of longints. The constructor of this struct can take a line of the file, parse it and fill the fields. getline would be the method to - erm - get the line from the file. For parsing, you could use fscanf or look at e.g. www.boost.org[^]for a parsing library. "We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganised. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganising: and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress, while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralisation." -- Caius Petronius, Roman Consul, 66 A.D.

>>is it possible to store these stuff in a struct or an array of some sort? just define your own structtype like the one below or use an odinary struct. typedef struct { char* charval; int intval1; int intval2; int intval3; long* longintarray; // if you know the length of your array at compile time then you could use // long longintarray[n]; instead. }tItem; Read your data line by line from your file and create in a loop an instance of tItem for each line. Fill it with data and add it to your array. An implementation could look like this : Please note that this is no valid code, it's just a little PSEUDOCODE representation. define an array of tItem while(!= end of file) { buffer = readoneline tItem tmpStruct; tmpStruct.charval = new char ( lenght of your read char(s)) tmpStruct.charval = copy the data from your buffer to the location where the pointer is pointing to // strcpy for instance tmpStruct.intval1 = atoi(pointer to your buffer) tmpStruct.intval2 = atoi(pointer to your buffer) tmpStruct.intval3 = atoi(pointer to your buffer) evaluate count of long int in the current line tmpStruct.longintarray = new long (count of long int's); pointertoyour buffer = a pointer on the first long; for( int i = 0; i < count of long values; i++) { tmpStruct.longintarray = atol(pointertoyourbuffer) tmpStruct.longintarray++; pointertoyourbuffer++; } add the tmpStruct to your array of structs } have fun Tobias
