What exactly doesn't work about it?

could you be a bit more specific? for example: what doesn't work..
or show us the debug output...

edit:i fixed it but now there is another problem

my save button doesn;t work

Does "defwelcomemsg.txt" actually contain anything? That error means youre trying to read an empty file.

code:

---

function OnPoliteEvent_CtrlClicked(PlusWnd, CtrlId) {
if(CtrlId == "Btnlol") {
OverwriteFile("defwelcomemsg.txt", PlusWnd.GetControlText("EdtWelcomeMSg"));
OverwriteFile("defgoodbyemsg.txt", PlusWnd.GetControlText("EdtGoodbyeMsg"));

}
