Hi All,

I tried my first hand at writing some text from a
field called "Name" to an external file today..
While I managed the reverse means I can write from the
file to the text field...i just cannot manage the
reverse..
I tried both the writeFile and writeString methods
(since these are the only ones that i know of ) but
none of them works don know y. The bigger problem is
that I have found just no documentation on the help or
the manual about these two commands or how to write to
a file, to see where i cud be going wrong. I tried the
following code:

on mouseUp
  set myFile = new(xtra "FileIo")
  set descFile  = "C:/Data.txt"
  openFile (myFile,descFile,1)
  txt= member("Name").text 
  
  --myFile.writeFile()=txt
  --writeString(myFile, txt)

  closeFile(myFile)  
end


can somebody tell me what is the right command to use
for this particular requirement???? that is to write
some text to an external file....or better to append
some text to the end of a text file..
Any help wud be greatly appreciated
Regards

Richie
