The below code works fine if the file exists and has content. If the file does not exist or has no content, it goes through the steps (executes StartTextInput, etc) but actually writes nothing, and if the file does not exist, it does not write/create it.

I know it has to be something simple that I'm missing...

I've already confirmed the location where it looks for/creates files. When I create a dummy text file with content, it works.

The folder it is supposed to read/write to is not "Read Only", and UAC is off.

+ Code Snippet

		opentoread(1,"IGN.txt")
		IGN$ = readstring(1)
		closefile(1)
	
		if IGN$ = ""
				starttextinput("Enter in-game name.")
			if gettextinputcompleted() = 1
				IGN$ = GetTextInput()
				OpenToWrite ( 1, "IGN.txt", 0 )
				WriteString ( 1, IGN$ )
				CloseFile ( 1 )
			endif
		endif

Any help appreciated

starttextinput not interrupt your game.
means the next condition is not =1

example from me

+ Code Snippet

Function Input(textin$,length)

    SetCursorBlinkTime(0.5)
    SetTextInputMaxChars(length)
    StartTextInput(textin$)

    do
        sync()
        state=GetTextInputState()
        c=GetLastChar()
        if GetTextInputCompleted()
            if GetTextInputCancelled()
                text$=textin$
                exit
            else
                text$=GetTextInput()
                exit
            endif
        endif

    loop

    StopTextInput()
    sync()

endfunction text$
