O.k. sometimes I'm on the road - and it takes me a while to get back to gambas.
Ideally I just want to write a class, which is all strings, to a file and read it back in. I saw in one of the posts that there may be a way to do this, but there wasn't any detail... Can any one explain further? FYI Pickle explained (sortof): ----- snip ------ "Rather than have users be constantly writing and debugging code to save complicated data types, Python provides a standard module called ‘pickle’. This is an amazing module that can take almost any Python object (even some forms of Python code!), and convert it to a string representation; this process is called pickling. Reconstructing the object from the string representation is called unpickling. Between pickling and unpickling, the string representing the object may have been stored in a file or data, or sent over a network connection to some distant machine.

Benoit used to talk about object persistence/serialization as a 3.0 feature, but I don't know the status of that yet. As Steven posted, you can always just write data types to a file directly, but to write them in a semi-human-readable format like pickle does would probably need its own component or module. Parsing existing pickle data would probably not be that hard; I've done it in Perl on a number of occasions.
