SYNOPSIS

#include <allegro.h>

DATAFILE *find_datafile_object(const DATAFILE *dat, const char *objectname);

DESCRIPTION

Searches an already loaded datafile for an object with the specified name. In the name you can use `/' and `#' separators for nested datafile paths. Example:
    char level_name[10];
    DATAFILE *dat, *level;
    ...
    uszprintf(level_name, sizeof(buffer),
              "LEVEL_%02d", level_number);
    level = find_datafile_object(dat, level_name);
    if (!level)
       abort_on_error("That level doesn't exist!");
 

RETURN VALUE

Returns a pointer to a single DATAFILE element whose `dat' member points to the object, or NULL if the object could not be found.
