ok thanx for the help it did get it working more than it did before but there a few things i can't do and things wrong. first off. when i do something = strtok() it doesnt work. i have to put it in sprintf and seconday. it only reads the first line and returns (null) for the rest of the lines when i do that it returns: clannamehere (null) (null) (null) and the file looks like: CLAN: clannamehere LEAD: clanleader SPEL: clanspell CLAN: clannamehere here is the code that im tring it on: FILE *ACLAN_FILE; int num_lines = 0; ACLAN_FILE=fopen("../lib/misc/clan", "r"); get_line(ACLAN_FILE, buf); while (!feof(ACLAN_FILE)) { num_lines++; get_line(ACLAN_FILE,buf); } fclose(ACLAN_FILE); ACLAN_FILE=fopen("../lib/misc/clan", "r"); buf2[0] = '\0'; get_line(ACLAN_FILE, buf); while (!feof(ACLAN_FILE)) { sprintf(buf2,"%s%s\r\n",buf2, buf); get_line(ACLAN_FILE, buf); sprintf(buf, "%s", strtok(buf2, ": ")); sprintf(buf2, "%s\r\n", strtok(NULL, "\n")); send_to_char(buf2, ch); } page_string(ch->desc, buf2, 1); fclose(ACLAN_FILE); ** its messy now but i just wanna get it working forst :) _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
