I used to know how to do this, can't seem to remember.

Text file would look something like this (keyvalues)

PHP Code:

Pwnt
{
    "lol"
    "wtf"
    "bbq"
    "h4x"
    "amount"
    {
        "4"
    }
}
LUL
{
    "zomg"
    "wut button is fly up"
    "amount"
    {
        "2"
    }
} 


I need to read those into a string array so after load it would "look" like this:

PHP Code:

new String:pwnt[amount][] = {
    "lol",
    "wtf",
    "bbq",
    "h4x"
};
new String:LUL[amount][] = {
    "zomg"
     "wut button is fly up"
}; 


Understand what I'm trying to ask?

halp. I'm stuck in my plugin until I can get this done.

There's a whole wiki page dedicated to keyvalues, I suggest reading it

http://wiki.alliedmods.net/KeyValues...d_Scripting%29

[Dragonshadow]

I've already read the entire scripting section of the wiki. The only thing that even comes remotely close to it is

http://wiki.alliedmods.net/KeyValues...erative_Lookup

Though I have figured out its going to need to be like this instead:

PHP Code:

Pwnt
{
    "phrases"
    {
        "lol"
        "wtf"
        "bbq"
        "h4x"
    }
    "amount"
    {
        "4"
    }
}
LUL
{
    "phrases"
    {
        "zomg"
        "wut button is fly up"
    }
    "amount"
    {
        "2"
    }
}

I don't use KeyValves for reading/writing data personally. I can offer you an alternative, although you've probably designed yours around KeyValves, which I can't really help you with.

If you want an alternative, although I'd doubt it would help you much.

You're still missing a very key part of a keyvalues structure. If you are using keyvalues.

It is, the key. You've got lots of sections and values, but no keys. Also, your sections need to be in quotes.

"main"
{
    "pwnt"
    {
        "phrase1"  "lol"
        ....
        "amount"  "4"
    }
    ...
}

and

"main"
{
    "pwnt"
    {
        "phrase"  "lol,wtf,..."
        "amount"  "4"
    }
    ...
}

are 2 ways to make a valid keyvalue file for what you want (even though keyvalues probably isn't the best way to do what you want). The second one would require you to use ExplodeString() to get each string in the list into an array of strings.

Like I said, it's better when you read the wiki article instead of just skimming for a magic command.

There's laziness, and then there is 'too much hassle to be worth it'.

Magic Commands, your brains way of saying the current commands are too much work and are too confusing to be worth the effort. And chances are, if you're thinking that, another coder is gunna be saying the same thing.

Performing an action isn't simplified enough until it comes in a single, aptly named function that takes two arguments; where, and what.

PHP Code: new String:pwnt[amount][] = {     "lol",     "wtf",     "bbq",     "h4x" }; new String:LUL[amount][] = {     "zomg"      "wut button is fly up" };

That's not possible.

It's possible to generate ADT arrays populated with that data. It will require keyvalues.inc functions to get the data and adt_array.inc functions to store it.

[Dragonshadow]

Hmm, never messed with adt arrays.
