Hello peeps! I have been having issues trying to write data to a file. I try to write data to to a file, and when i try to open with dbp or notepad it's not there. i even try copying the examples from the help window included with CS. I could post a code snippet, but i dont know how. im somewhat mentally challenged towards nothing on the computer but forum posting, lol!

To post a code snippet, copy and paste it here. Put it into code tags - look at the button at the top right of the post message box.

As for your problem with the file writing, this is what you need.


Try posting your code so that we can see whats wrong.

@ Dark basic dude79:

Always remember that the file cannot exist before you write a new file so make sure you add code to delete the file if it exists before you write a new file.



If you forget that simple rule you'll end up pulling out all your hair because the file isn't saving right.


@ Brk_oth:

It's great that you told him to CLOSE FILE... a lot of people forget to tell newbies that.

@grog yeah I noticed alot of people dont remember to mention the close file, so I thought I would jump in on this one.. but I still ended up forgetting to mention to delete the file if it already exists.

@ Brk_oth:

It's ok we all make mistakes. If I didn't do it or somebody else you would of eventually told him when he came back saying it doesn't work right.
