I would like to write some text to an xml file. First, I would like to know how to open a file to write? And then, how to "write" to the file, and at last, how to save it? I know how to use FileSystemObject in Visual Basic 6, but it seems that it doesn't work in the same syntax in this system.

Another question is that, when calling MsgPlus.DisplayToast, how to output a line break? I cannot use HTML tag <br> and also what I use in VB6 - chr(13).

Thanks!!

Try with '\n'

It works!
Thankyou!

But note that there is currently a 'bug' with it....

When the lines preceding the line break are too long, the line break seems to be ignored and you get stuff like:

"This_is_a_very_long_string_which_I_write_to_show_something\nsecond_line"

displays something like:

This_is_a_very_long_string_which_I_wri
te_to_show_somethingsecond_line

Instead of the expected:

This_is_a_very_long_string_which_I_wri
te_to_show_something
second_line

To write to xml:

code:

---

var xml = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM"); //Create xml object
xml.load(XMLPath); //XMLPath is the path of your XML file

var toAdd = xml.createElement("Element"); //Create an element called "Element"

toAdd.appendChild(xml.createTextNode("Text")); //Add the text "Text" to the element that you just created

xml.getElementsByTagName("Parent")[0].appendChild(toAddMessage); //Add the newly created element to the first instance of "Parent"

xml.save(XMLPath); //Save the XML file to the path specified

---

I hope that this helps,

Robert

I wanna say thankyou to you first. I have to find out more about this before I can tell whether it works or not.
