Re: File IO -- Reading Config Files Easily

Implementing that would simply be a case of opening a file, a few
readLine()s and some string splitting.
Would take 5 minutes to write -- why do you need to use an existing one?

In high school I came up with a great idea for a play I dashed off in a few
days.  It had a ghost in it who came back to ask his son for revenge, a
woman that went mad, a sword fight at the end where everyone ended up dead
from poison on the blades and in wine and even a great line or two about
being and not being.

I still can't figure out why I got an F on the play.

Why write something that's been written? And how many 5 minute blocks of my
time do I waste doing what I don't have to? I'm more focused on developing
the habit of NOT re-writing what's already there.
