I am creating a simple game. i save the highscores in a file, highscore.txt, but then i want to pront them.

i use this code:
     byte s = loadBytes("highscore.txt");
     int q = s;
     text("High Score", 40, 400);
     text(q, 150, 400);
and, on the first line, it returns the error "type of the right sub-expression, "byte[]", is not assignable to th ariable of type "byte".

note:

i use the line :
     saveBytes("highscore.txt", score);
where score is the player's score, to save the high scores.

thanks, but now, when I try to print the strng, using:

text(s, 150, 400);

it returns: "perhaps you wanted the overloaded version "void text $1, float $2, float $3" istead?"

also, can i use the clause if (score > s) if i have s as a string loaded from the file? or is there a command to extract a numeric value from a string?

thanks.

thank- hopefully just two more questions- if i want to save the integer named score to highscore.txt so it can be read by the line you suggested, how would I do so? also, when i run the line
      String s = join(loadStrings("gamedata.dat"), "\n" ); // the \n is for linebreaks

it returns a NullPointerExeption, although i have a document called gamedata.dat in the same folder as the program.
