Saving in Binary - Anthony - 17-04-2008
Well, I have a question about saving data in Binary. Storing say a string. Say my NpcRec has AttackSay as String * 255. However the string used in Npc 1 is actually only 30 characters long. The saving stores all the white space and includes all those extra bytes
. I am hoping somebody can tell me how to eliminate the white space. Hopefully a simple check can do it but I am expecting something complicated haha.

Don't you HAVE to use fixed length strings in Binary?
I don't see why it's a problem anyways.

Makes sense, I still don't see why it's that big of a deal though.
It can't use up very much filesize.
