Just create a temp character and load the pfile into it one character at a time. When the IDNum matches the one for which you're looking, simply read the name and store it. It's about the same procedure you'd use for converting a pfile to new structs, just a lot simpler. -- Mandy, Coding Director of The Multiplex -- telnet:pccs.cs.pomona.edu -- http://www.tmarts.com/Multiplex +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
