Hi, I am trying some very simple file writing, bt am having problems. The following code fragment works ok, but in the saved file, something appears before my text in the saved *.txt file (could be a carriage return and a TAB): this$="Hello World!" fileout=WriteFile("test.txt") WriteString(fileout,this$) CloseFile(fileout) Any ideas why, and what I can do to get rid of it? Thanks.

Use a writeline instead of writesting if you want to create a regular text file.

Thanks, Rob. Just the ticket....

It's 4 chars telling how long the string is. It's a form feed and 3 blanks. But use writeline as Rob says :)
