Hi all,
Does anybody know of a way of storing a bunch of data in an array-style container that uses a text-based name instead of an index number to lookup values?
Hopefully with a save to disk feature? (like textfile)
Basically I'm looking for an object that can store something like...
blahBlahBlahItem 0.5678; strawberryJam 700001; underwearForSwimming 0; endangeredLunchbox 1;
It seems that I could use textfile for this but my programming is cumbersome for anything that's not just adding to the list. (i.e. changing the value of 'endangeredLunchbox' to 2.) And I seem to have to traverse most of the textfile until I receive a symbol match for lookup?
Thanks in advance as always,
John.
