thankz i figured it out.

[mt]

ok i did it like this.
FILE *fptr;
fptr=fopen("myfile.txt","r");
fscanf(fptr,"%s",&mystringvariable);
strcpy(mytextactor.text,mystringvariable);

it works and it displays the text from the file but now i want to increment the pointer(fptr) to the next line when the player is out. but i don't want to display the name of the player that has already been out. should i save the out player inanother file and compare them or something? need help plz...
