- I need some help. One of my games writes it data to a file, and I would
- like to read this file. When I type the file to the screen it shows up
- as a bunch of happy faces etc ... so I am assuming it is a binary file.
- Is this correct assumption ? I can make out some text in the file. I have
- looked at the file with various hex edit programs to find out where the data
- I want is.
-
- How do I read in the data ? I tried using fscanf(fd,"%x",&int). I would
- like to be able to read in 2 hex digits at a time, because this is how I
- saw the file with the hex editors mentioned above.
-
- Any help involing reading files that are not ascii text would also
- be appreciated.
