Creating a .txt file

[FERdeBOER]

I DID IT!!

Code: Select all

FILE *f=fopen("00base.mu","w");
fprintf(f,"VERSION 3\nOWNALLIANCE 0\nDIFFICULTY 1\nTOTALNUMSIDES 1\nNUMDRIVEABLES 1\nMONTH 1\nWORLDGRID 2\nLATLONG 54.071823 -11.025635\n;\nSEASTATE %i\nMDR 0 0 0\nBOTTOMTYPE %i\nTIMEOFDAY %i\nWEATHER %i\nCLOUDHEIGHT %i\nSSP %i\n\n\nENTITY 2342 SUBENTITY\nHULLID 1\nALLIANCE 1\nPOS 554859.937500 559978.937500 -70\nPOINTS 750\nCOURSE 0\nSPEED 5\nPROB 100\nDRIVEABLE 1\nUNIQUENAME ""SSN"" \nCOMMSINTERVAL 0.000000\nTACTIC RANDOMBOX\nBOX 515385.812500 601426.937500 594334.187500 518531.031250\nAIRLOADOUT 244\nAIRCRAFT 1722 1 Alert5 0 : Alert15 1 : 0 Alert30 0 : \nEND\n", seastate, bottomtype, timeofday, weather, clouds, ssp);
fclose(f);

Making it more clear:

Code: Select all

FILE *f=fopen("00base.mu","w");
fprintf(f,"\nBOTTOMTYPE %i\nTIMEOFDAY %i", bottomtype, timeofday);
fclose(f);

So the %i places the final variables in the order written.

And now all the text appears on the text file

Don't relax, surely I will come back with more questions...

Thank You all for your help!

Hmmm...I thought you were asking on how to keep writing on the text file without worrying on 256 character limit...
But if yes, use "a+" flag on the FILE declaration :

Code: Select all

FILE *f=fopen("yourfile.txt',"a+");

a+ will add the text from the last line, not rewrite the text from beginning.
Hope it helps

No, moreover, I didn't know that there was such a limit since Hblade mentioned it

Great! It's very useful for what I want to do. With this I don't need to copy all the lines, but write only the ones I want to be random.

Oh, may I ask you one more thing?
With the a+ method the problem I see is that it only works once, because repeating lines makes DW crash. So I think the solution would be copying the original file (lets call it originalmission.txt), lets say to randommission.txt and then add the modified code with a+.
Can it be done? Am I asking too much?
