Use the FileSystemObject!

code:
Original from MPScripts.net
// Writes content over an existing text file (replace the current text with new text)
function OverwriteFile (file, content) {
var fileObj = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile(MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath + '\\' + file, 2, 0);
fileObj.Write(content);
fileObj.Close();
}

Use that function to write the content, like:

code:
OverwriteFile("file1.txt", PlusWnd.GetControlText("EdtThing1");
OverwriteFile("file2.txt", PlusWnd.GetControlText("EdtThing2");

If you need a function to read the contents again:

code:
Original from MPScripts.net
// Reads the full contents of a text file to a variable
function ReadFile (file) {
var fileObj = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile(MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath + '\\' + file, 1);
var contents = fileObj.ReadAll();
fileObj.Close();
return contents;
}

thank you very much mattike but i only must happen when they press the button save

RE: activex help by Matti on 01-03-2007 at 05:10 PM

Well, then place it in an OnWindowidEvent_CtrlClicked event!

code:
// Writes content over an existing text file (replace the current text with new text)
function OverwriteFile (file, content) {
var fileObj = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile(MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath + '\\' + file, 2, 0);
fileObj.Write(content);
fileObj.Close();
}

function OnWindowidEvent_CtrlClicked(PlusWnd, CtrlId) {
if(CtrlId == "BtnSave") {
OverwriteFile("file1.txt", PlusWnd.GetControlText("EdtThing1");
OverwriteFile("file2.txt", PlusWnd.GetControlText("EdtThing2");
}
}

RE: activex help by Wakaki on 01-04-2007 at 09:59 AM

i was baout to do right now when i read your reply

EDIT: when i was cpying i discovered the fault bit silly when you look above in this thread and see the code mattike gave to me? then you see

code:
// + "file"

and then in the ctrlclicked function you see

code:
("myfile.txt", .......

and silly me made it :

code:
("//myfile.txt"......

so that was the error cause the script thought :

code:
////myfile.txt

thank you al for replying
