This is something I have never attempted, but now am trying to do. I have built myself a overhead mapping system and it works great. However, now I want to add some more functionality to it. Basically, all the mapping data is kept in the rooms description. This allows it to be editted online quite easily. What I want to do, however, is make it so that you can customize parts of the map, and I want to do a parsing of the description itself. By the time the parsing would be called, the description would already be loaded into the room structure, and the room file closed. What I want to do is treat the description pointer as a file stream and therefore be able to use the get_line() and fread_string() functions. Is this possible, or would I have to re-write those functions to get that capability. Any help would be appreciated, as this is something I have never even tried to attempt before. -- Now with PGP Encryption!
