Text Parsing Tutorial

[magintz]

Would people find one of these useful. I would make a real step-by-step guide beginning with n00bie level up to advanced...

Feedback please... what would you want me to tell you how to do and do people find step by step examples or instructions more helpful? should I include full working source for people?

Well I created the tutorial, I wrote it in word. The Zip file contains the open source file and the step by step walkthrough to help explain everythign a bit better.

Thanks CJ, I thought tghis was helpful as I struggled with this at first. I found the helpguide provided with AGS useful, but felt a tutorial with free open soure would help, i'll develop this into creating full parsing for people, and reccomend that they start here, I'm going on mittens next week and the week after that I'm working (might get the next tute done but not sure)

hope some people find it useful
