WriteIntVariableToFile(int value)

Description

This function writes an integer value to the currently open file. Before writing information to the file, make sure that you have opened the desired file for writing with the OpenFileForWriting function.

Parameter

value

Specifies an integer value to write to the currently opened file.

Example

iVar = 0

function Init()
   --Create a folder in Assets/Data/ path
   CreateFolder("Lev1")

   --Create and open file to write data
   OpenFileForWriting("Lev1/level1.bin")
   WriteIntVariableToFile(3)
   CloseFile("Lev1/level1.bin")

   --Open File to load data
   OpenFileForReading("Lev1/level1.bin")
   iVar = ReadIntVariableFromFile()
   CloseFile("Lev1/level1.bin")
end

First, using the CreateFolder function, we create a folder called “Lev1” in the Assets/Data/ path. Then, using the OpenFileForWriting function, we open the level1.bin file located in the Assets/Data/Lev1/ path for writing. After writing an integer value 3 by the WriteIntVariableToFile function, we close the file by the CloseFile function.

Then, using the OpenFileForReading function, we open the level1.bin file located in the path Assets/Data/Lev1/ for reading and read an integer variable from the level1.bin file with the ReadIntVariableFromFile() function. In our example, value of iVar is 3 after reading it. Finally, we close the file by the CloseFile function.
