Hi,

I'm trying to code an app that displays text.

BUT i want to set the color of each "block of text" using a cfg/txt file.

So i have the text :

Well, there are many ways to approach this.
Since I am doing something similar (but probably not immediately), you can use this method... (you may need to brainstorm a bit, but this is a method that just came up while reading your post)

<colors>
<001>5,6,7
<002>11,22,33
<003>55,66,77
<text>
<t1>This be the text block one<nl>
More text
<t2>This is block two
more info
more more info
<t3>




code:
print("t1","002",initialScreenInfo);



if you are interested in using the above method, I can release the library you can link to. otherwise, feel free to use the above method :)

Look in the PSP Game forums if it is ever implemented in the future:

Lol, I really think you are funny, quoted from my iso/cso thread:

Sigh. Why do some "devs" always post a new thread asking about basic programming instead of searching or looking at code already out? Seriously, it doesn't say much about a programmer when they have to ask how to read values from a text file. While printing in color IS a valid PSP question, there are so many examples already out (and threads on it here) that asking just makes them look stupid and/or lazy.

That said, I'll chip in this bit of help: Doom for the PSP has code showing how to save/load from a text config file, and how to print in color using both the debug printing and intraFont.

Text file:

MyColor1 = r[255] g[255] b[255]


Reading:

Basic C++/C IO(WHICH has nothing to do with this forum):


struct COLOR
{
int r,g,b
};

function COLOR* get_color_(const std::string& f,const std::string& str)

open file f
while reading file..
read line...
remove white space
if string *STR* found in line
COLOR c;
c.r = parse line starting from "r[" until "]"
c.g = parse line starting from "g[" until "]"
c.b = parse line starting from "b[" until "]"

return &c...


Usage:

COLOR* c = get_color_("theme.txt","MyColor1");

To avoid opening the file each time you need to read a color:

Create a class:
-load the data
-parse data
-get whatever you want

@edepot : Yeah, it would be very nice if you release a library

Are you blind? There's one right above you.
Add in a_noob's config file parser from pspprogramming.com and it is complete.

www.google.com :

"C reading a file line by line" or "C++ reading a file line by line"

then

"C find substring" or "C++ find substring"

then
"C parse string" or "C++ parse string"

then

"C convert string to integer"(well,the function is atoi()) or "C++ convert string to integer"

And a last hint:

A string is a list of characters , meaning that:
char * str="hey hey"
std::string str ="hey hey"

=

str[0] = h
str[1] = e
str[2] = y
str[3] = white space :)
str[4] = h
str[5] = e
str[6] = y
str[7] ='\0'

to get the length of a string:
use strlen()(C) or str.length()(C++)

[Question_dev]

Sorry, but i can't make this by myself :(

Thanks for the help anyway..
