RE: Question about a function to track stats.

[KJM]

Ok got it.  It now reads

void mobstat_update (void)
{
     FILE *fp;
     int vnum;
     MOB_INDEX_DATA *pMobIndex;
     CHAR_DATA *mob;
     int nMatch;
     char buf[MSL];

    fclose(fpReserve);

    fp = fopen("../data/mobstat.txt","w");

    nMatch = 0;
    for (vnum = 0; nMatch < top_mob_index; vnum++)
    if ((pMobIndex = get_mob_index(vnum)) != NULL)
    {
      nMatch++;
      if ( ( pMobIndex = get_mob_index( vnum ) ) != NULL )
      {
       if pMobIndex->kills >= 3 || pMobIndex->killed >= 3)
       {
        sprintf(buf,"%5d %5d %5d\n", pMobIndex->vnum, pMobIndex->kills,
pMobIndex->killed);
        fprintf( fp, buf );
       }
      }
    }
     fprintf(fp,"-1");
     fclose(fp);
     fpReserve = fopen( NULL_FILE, "r" );
     return;
}

Still doesn't tell me why the stats are not loading onto the index....but a
big help in the memory department.

Thanks for the help!
