INT load ( <STRING filename> , <VARSPACE data> )

Loads the data read from the specified file into a variable.

Parameters

STRING filename	- The name of the file to be loaded.
VARSPACE data	- The variable (of any datatype) in which the data read from the file will be loaded.

Returns

INT : The number of bytes read from the file.

Notes

To check whether a file exists before it is loaded, file_exists() can be used.

Example

Program test;
Global
    struct My_struct
        Level_number;
        string Map_name;
    End
Begin
    If (file_exists("myfile.sav")) 
        Load("myfile.sav",My_struct);            // Content from myfile.sav is loaded into My_struct
        Write(0,10,10,0,My_struct.level_number); // A variable from the loaded struct is shown on screen
        Write(0,10,20,0,My_struct.map_name);     // Another variable loaded is shown on screen
    Else
        Write(0,10,10,0,"File couldn't be loaded, it doesn't exist.");
    End

    While (!key(_esc))
        Frame;
    End
End

Used in example: file_exists(), write(), key()
