[24 Dec 2009] is it possible to use: openfile(1, "fileX") when x differs?

i have this level tables as saved files.

Now i would like to use somethinglike:

Code: Select all

X=1 (for example)
Openfile(1, "levelX.bin")

For it to open file level1.bin or if X being 2, then level2.bin and so on.

I can do this way in perl, but is there a way to do this same in Hollywood?

Hallo samuli,

you can use the operator ".." to concatenate strings

Code: Select all

num$="1"
filestring = "level"..num$..".bin"
Openfile(1,filestring)

Concatenation automatically converts a number variable to a string. So all you need to do is use a line like this:

Openfile(1, "level"..X..".bin" )
