plz i want a function of three parameters
Example : void check (string filename , string playername , int score)

the first parameter for the name of the file to save in
second for the player's name
and third for his score

this function should check if the playername sent to it existed before in the file it should update his score
if the name doesnt exist it should append his name and score in the file

thats all
i need it urgently as there is no time and this is the only thing missing in my code

thnxxx

So, what you have to do is:
  • check (or decide) how the name and score are (or will be) stored in the file
  • open the file, and read it record by record
  • compare the read name with the players name that you are looking for. If found you have to change the score.
  • if not found after reading the whole file, you have to add a new record with the name and score

An important first step in reaching the goals that joske points out is deciding on a format for your file.
