i have a window with a button save and when you click on it the values of 2 editcontrols  should be saved to tewo different textfiles and the window shoulkd close i don't understand how i should do this so plz help

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;
}

* Matti the MP!L Script Developers Resource... thanks Dempsey!

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

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");
  }
}

i've done this and then i get that i don't have prvileges so my script isn't started plz help

try posting your code (or debug window of the error )

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
