Reading and modifying external text files

by Hogie · in Technical Issues · 03/03/2008 (4:48 pm) · 3 replies

Hello,
I am trying to implement a highscore table that maintains scores after the player exits the program. I had planned on reading and editing an external file that holds the scores/names of players, but I can't seem to find if there is a way to do this. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on this subject. Thanks in advance,
Hogie

Its not a text file, but a SQLite table might be useful (do a search on SQLite or MySQL for integration) An SQL table is much more secure as well.

Thanks for the quick responses, I'll give both of the options a try.
