hmm, i dont realli understand how to use it though. I dont think that its realli all that relevant.

ps. if there is a plugin to do this, can sumone guide me to it.


File manipulation
Just use the file manipulation functions FileOpen, FileRead and FileWrite. Close with FileClose.

Use the System.dll plug-in and call the Win32 CreateFile, ReadFile to work on binary files.


For binary files you can also use the command FileWriteByte.

In the docs at the description of this command is an example.
