Indeed there should. It wouldn't be the first time some info or code on the MSDN Library is faulty. This said, at least all the complete function examples on the MSDN Library overview page in regards to reading/writing files do include the Close() statement.

Because the Messenger Plus! Scripting documentation help file (or the online docs) is about... well... Messenger Plus! stuff. It is specifically about Plus! objects, Plus! functions and Plus! events in the integrated scripting language. All the other normal things you could do in JScript are out of scope of this documentation.

So, writing to files and all kind of other stuff is pure JScript and nothing todo with Plus! specifically and thus you'll find info about that in the Windows Scripting Documentation help file (or online docs) instead.

There you'll find example code as posted by Spunky. Although, there are some small errors in Spunky's code. Below, the fixed lines in yellow:
Javascript code:
function Write(filename, text){
   try{
      var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
      var f = fso.OpenTextFile(filename, 2, true);      f.Write(text);
      f.Close();
      return 1;
   }catch(e){
      Debug.Trace("Write Error: (File '"+filename+"': " + e.message);
      return 0;
   }
}
 
function Read(filename){   try{
      var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");      var f = fso.OpenTextFile(filename, 1);      var r = f.ReadLine();      f.Close();      return r;   }catch(e){
      Debug.Trace("Read Error: (File '"+filename+"': " + e.message);
      return 0; // Failed
   }
}

O.P. RE: How do I save data?????
Yeah I added the Close() yesterday because I wasn't able to erase the files I was working with because they were still used by messenger.

I just needed something to start with. Thank you very much
