Re: WRITE .var TO FILENAME

[MikeB]

The variable must be a valid varchar or varbit. eg:   1. set var vtest varbit = ['f:\SomeIcon.ico']   write .vtest to SomeOtherIcon.ico   the file "SomeOtherIcon.ico" will now hold the same contents as "f:\SomeIcon.ico"   2. set var vtest varchar = ['f:\SomeTextFile.txt']   write .vtest to SomeOtherTextFile.txt   the file "SomeOtherTextFile.txt" will now hold the same contents as "f:\SomeOtherTextFile.txt"     '----- Original Message ----- From: Rob Vincent To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 19, 2002 4:18 PM Subject: WRITE .var TO FILENAME Using RB for Windows 6.5++ (1.851) The on-line help provides the following syntax for the WRITE statement:   WRITE .var TO FILENAME   However, when executed, it generates an error message:  "Syntax is Incorrect for the command WRITE"   Can anyone else reproduce this?   - Rob Vincent
