file problem

[vivitabak]

I made a program simulating that of the lobby of a hotel, and I have a problem with storing the record variables into the file...for some reason only those variables of type string are saved and those of integer and of array are not, or if they are stored, thay containg nothing. I can see this when I open the file, and later when trying to perform a search into the file, it obviously doesn't work. I really need some help!
Thanks in advanced :)

I gathered some method to you ,look at them...

Seek (procedure)
Moves the current position of a file to a specified component.
Declaration
procedure Seek(var F; N: Longint);
Target
Windows, Real, Protected
Remarks
F is any file variable type except text, and N is an expression of type Longint. The current file position of F is moved to component number N. The number of the first component of a file is 0. To expand a file, you can seek one component beyond the last component; that is, the statement Seek(F, FileSize(F)) moves the current file position to the end of the file.
With {$I-}, IOResult returns 0 if the operation was successful; otherwise, it returns a nonzero error code.
Restrictions
Cannot be used on text files. File must be open.
----------------------------------------------
FilePos (function)
Returns the current file position of a file.
Declaration
function FilePos(var F): Longint;
Target
Windows, Real, Protected
Remarks
F is a file variable. If the current file position is at the beginning of the file, FilePos(F) returns 0. If the current file position is at the end of the file--that is, if Eof(F) is True--FilePos(F) is equal to FileSize(F).
With {$I-}, IOResult returns 0 if the operation was successful; otherwise, it returns a nonzero error code.
Restrictions
Cannot be used on a text file. File must be open.
----------------------------------------------
FileSize (function)
Returns the current size of a file.
Declaration
function FileSize(var F): Longint;
Target
Windows, Real, Protected
Remarks
F is a file variable. FileSize(F) returns the number of components in F. If the file is empty, FileSize(F) returns 0.
With {$I-}, IOResult returns 0 if the operation was successful; otherwise, it returns a nonzero error code.
Restrictions
Cannot be used on a text file. File must be open.

maybe the problem that you use text file to save your data,look at the above help...and think of it. :D
