Also, it depends on exactly what you are trying to save.
There are other ways of saving strings than using the low level file
routines. They may be less efficient, but involve less programming. If
your strings are in a TStrings or TStringList object, you can simply use
the SaveToFile and LoadFromFile methods. This gives you lots of good
ways to work with the strings as well. If you just want to save odd
form or control properties, there is the "sessionproperties" system
(Congratulations to whoever invented that, by the way!). If you want to
work with large slabs of text, the low level routines might be best.
If you are just experimenting, don't let me put you off!
cheers,
John
