Indexed files

[TerryRitchie]

I need to add this to the tutorial. I explain sequential flat files but just mention at the end of the lesson that records can be done with RANDOM. I just created a screen sticky note to remind me to do this.

Update:

Oh yuck:

Code: (Select All)

TYPE Image
    AS STRING * 255 Text, FileName
    AS LONG SzX, SzY, PosX, PosY
END TYPE

I just saw this above. Didn't know that this was possible inside of a UDT structure but it looks rather messy in my opinion. No room for comments.

Code: (Select All)

TYPE Image
    Text AS STRING * 255 ' comments here
    FileName AS STRING * 255 ' comments here
    SzX AS LONG ' comments here
    SzY AS LONG ' more comments
    PosX AS LONG ' the rain in Spain
    PosY AS LONG ' falls mainly on the plain
END TYPE

Ah, much better.
