Re: Save/load data to a file

and you can NOT going to be using the data in other CPU architectures, then the simplest is to just copy out the RAM bytes to disk. Of course, you have to add some 'structure' info to deal with the variable-length arrays but that can be as simple as prefixing the data with the length value. -- Derek Parnell Melbourne, Australia skype: derek.j.parnell

Re: casting int[] to bool[]

d to use 'ints' as bool values you have to provide your own conversion routine. For example ... int[] a = [1,2,3,0]; bool[] b; -- Convert to int array to bool array. b.length = a.length; foreach( i, x; a) b[i] = (x != 0); writefln(a,`-->`,b); -- Derek Parnell Melbourne, Australia skype: derek.j.parnell

Re: Template conflict?
