Hello Widi, I know the commands for file manipulation. My problems are:
How to open a textfile wich is packed into a wrs file and how to save it into this wrs file.
Thank you.

Ja, bevor ich hier etwas schreibe schaue ich nat�rlich im Handbuch nach

You can�t save to wrs at runtime. You have to copy the file via file_cpy out of the wrs, then you can alter it and save it. The engine will use this file from now on, not the one in the wrs. However, it�ll be visible to everyone, then.

Maybe you can encrypt it.

Manual (@file_cpy)

Quote:

For copying a text file from a .wrs resource, rename the file to "*.pak" and add it to the resource with a BIND statement in a .wdl file, or a PRAGMA_BIND in a .c file (f.i. #define PRAGMA_BIND "mytext.pak";). At runtime, copy the text file from the resource with file_cpy("mytext.txt","mytext.pak");. The resource must either exist in the work folder, or be opened by add_resource.

Now it's good working:) Here how I did it:

file_cpy("test.txt","test.pak");

var status_file = file_open_read("test.txt");

v_mission=file_var_read(status_file);

file_close(status_file);

file_delete("test.txt");

the file "test.pak" is packed into a wrs file.
