the file is unreadable;

Is there no way to make a custom text file, in text, -with a text editor and have AppGameKit read it?

the text file would be something like

You could use the WriteString() command. e.g

Does anyone know the ascii code for the spacers in the resulting text files created by the OpenToWrite command?

In my text editor they show up as squares

If I try to paste them into the AGKide they don't show up at all.
I can't even paste them in google.

I want to create a custom file to read from dark basic.

IceRGB, I don't know offhand, I would use a hex editor to find out.

When using WriteLine() the lines are terminated with a new line character, ascii code 10, or 0A in hex. They can't be inserted into a string in tier 1 directly but you can use "A"+chr(10)+"B" to insert a newline in the IDE.

WriteInt(), WriteString(), and WriteFloat() use a binary format that should only be read back with ReadInt(), ReadString(), and ReadFloat() respectively.
