Hello!

I've been trying to create a dynamic system lately but I struggle with saving/loading so I was reading through other people's code to see how it works, I came at a stop when I reached this part tho because I couldn't really understand how/why this code works.

Код:

LoadDealerships()
{
	new File:handle, count;
	new filename[64], line[256], s, key[64];
	for(new i=1; i < MAX_DEALERSHIPS; i++)
	{
		format(filename, sizeof(filename), DEALERSHIP_FILE_PATH "d%d.ini", i);
		if(!fexist(filename)) continue;
		handle = fopen(filename, io_read);
		while(fread(handle, line))
		{
			StripNL(line);
			s = strfind(line, "=");
			if(!line[0] || s < 1) continue;
			strmid(key, line, 0, s++);
			if(strcmp(key, "Created") == 0) DealershipCreated[i] = strval(line[s]);
			else if(strcmp(key, "Pos") == 0) sscanf(line[s], "p<,>fff", DealershipPos[i][0],
			DealershipPos[i][1], DealershipPos[i][2]);
		}
		fclose(handle);
		if(DealershipCreated[i]) count++;
	}
	printf("  Loaded %d dealerships", count);
}

I know that it loads the dealerships, but I just can't understand this part:

Код:

format(filename, sizeof(filename), DEALERSHIP_FILE_PATH "d%d.ini", i);
		if(!fexist(filename)) continue;
		handle = fopen(filename, io_read);
		while(fread(handle, line))
		{
			StripNL(line);
			s = strfind(line, "=");
			if(!line[0] || s < 1) continue;
			strmid(key, line, 0, s++);
			if(strcmp(key, "Created") == 0) DealershipCreated[i] = strval(line[s]);
			else if(strcmp(key, "Pos") == 0) sscanf(line[s], "p<,>fff", DealershipPos[i][0],
			DealershipPos[i][1], DealershipPos[i][2]);
		}
		fclose(handle);
		if(DealershipCreated[i]) count++;
	}

I believe that I'll need to know why is that here for me to be able to create something similar in the future.

Thanks!

It opens up the file, reads it line-by-line (that's that while loop), delimits it to get dealership coordinates (x/y/z), closes the file, counts the dealerships.
