Hi there.

hmm. Can anyone help me with something in vb ?...

I would like to know how could I make a text (.txt) file... e.g

txttextinside.text -> text.txt

hm... I've read few tutorials about this but still can't find what I'm looking for ..

thnx

put into a button or something

code:

---

open "eatme.txt" For append as 1
print #1, text1.text
close 1

---

if something is not there, vb automaticly creates it

edit :
more advance version

code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
   Open "C:\Text.txt" For Ouput As #1
     Print #1,
Text1.Text
   Close #1
End Sub

You can try asking your vb questions at http://www.vbforums.com
I dont say that members here at the MsgPlus! forums here dont know vb but i think VBF is a better place to ask your VB questions.
Im there too

why? we have good programmers here

btw... how do i rewrite the same .txt file.. but not OVERWRITE just continue in blank lines ....

You can read the data in the text before appending and then make a temp string and do: TempString = String1 & String2
If you want i can post an example

Also if you have time then register at VBF and ask your questions there

dim filenum as integer
filenum= freefile

Open "C:\Text.txt" For Append As filenum
Print filenum, Text1.Text
Close filenum

use append if you want to add to the file and output to rewrite it

code:

---

'This will write to the text file
Open <Path Of File> for Append As #1
Print #1, Text1.Text
Close #1

'This will read the text file
Dim strTextFile As String
Open <Path Of File> for Input as #1
   Do Until EOF(1)
     Input#1,strTextFile
     Text1.Text=Text1.Text & strTextFile & vbnewline
   Loop
Close #1

'This will clear the text file
Open <Path Of File> For Output As #1
Close #1

'OR

Kill <Path Of File>

It is easiest to use the vb Function App.Path & "\Whatever.txt"

That means that the text file you are looking for is in the same place as the exe, its a lot easier then specifing an exact path because what happens if they install the application to another place
