That is, grid[128][128]. What I want to do is read a map from a text file. The format of maps is that every character in the map file is a certain type of int that will be stored in the grid..... My problem is, if I want to read the first 128 characters on the first 128 rows in the text file, how do I get the iostreams to do this? I've checked several C++ books, but they never tell me how to manipulate the place it reads from. Any code/pseudo-code would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, -- // Daniel Eliasson PS. I hope you don't mind the crosspost, just trying to maximise my odds of getting help. ------------------- I believe information should be free. www.gnu.org
