Read/Write Structured Linked Lists

Hello,

Suggestions please for the PureBasic function(s) to READ/WRITE structured linked list data to/from disk (Windows XP). The examples in Willoughby's book (Chap 7) deal with standard data types. Must I convert to string data and use the functions WriteStringN() and ReadString() functions?

Thanks.

you can use any Write/Read function, there is
WriteByte
WriteCharacter
WriteData
WriteDouble
WriteFloat
WriteLong
WriteQuad
WriteString
WriteStringFormat
WriteStringN
WriteWord

you can write a Procedure that writes your struct to disk field by field

These might help you. You would need to go through the list and write each structure in turn.
