I want to add strings in a text file to Allegro's listbox. The text file is
in a simple format where the carriage returns will be what seperates each
entry in the listbox:

This is String1
This is String2
This is String3
...etc.

I just started working with file I/O so don't expect my code to make sense.
This code below is as far as I can get. How do I print the strings into the
listbox?

static char *strings[] =
{    
    char *buffer
    filesize = getFileSize("playlist.dat");
    buffer = (char *)malloc(filesize);
    char *fgets(buffer, EOF, "playlist.dat");

};

Thanks,
Brian
