Let the program remember the values of the variables

[michaeldebruin]

Hello,

How can I make sure that variables remember their value? For example if someone uses an option of my program, the counter increases with one 1. But how can I make sure that the counter will remember when the program restart that his value is 1 and not 0. The same goes for a few strings like username and password. Those strings need to remember at any time what there value is.

Thanks in advance.

Write it to a file. Or a registry. But if you're going to store a password, make sure you use a hash.

I don't think a hash is really that neccesary, because I am going to store all the variables at the local computer. But can you give me an example (with some codes, I know how to create streams) how to write variable values in a file or registry and how to hash a password?

Many thanks in advance
