doubt reading file

[soryjero]

hi,

 

now i am trying to read a file, but the problem is that at the start of the file, you can the last index of the pet/item/skill...

 

and the really problem is that at the start i can read, for example 400, but there are only 50 notices/pets/skills and i dont know how to use EOF because i use this to open file:

 

ofd.InitialDirectory = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop
            ofd.Filter = "file|file*.[CeNsOrEd]"
            result = ofd.ShowDialog
            If ofd.FileName <> Nothing Then
                Dim fs As New FileStream(ofd.FileName, FileMode.Open)
                Dim br As New BinaryReader(fs)

 

so i dont know how to read until the end of file.

 

 

could anyone help me please?

 

thanks in advance

Im not familiar with visual basic (i assume this is what you are using?), but what about a while loop? "While the index read isnt the one from the beginning (in other words, the last one), read the file."

yes, i use vb.

 

you are right. i havent thought on that. i think that i also have to put a condition because index go from 1 to 50 and then jump to 200, so i think i also have to put a condition to compare index of the item with the number i get at the start of the file.

 

thanks, i will try it
