I have a form which includes two buttons. The first one is for reading in the file, (which has only one line of text). Here is my coding. PUBLIC SUB Button1_Click() DIM lineIn AS String DIM fileIn AS File DIM fname AS String fname = "/home/neilwin/basic/trial.txt" OPEN fname FOR READ AS #fileIn LINE INPUT #fileIn, lineIn result.Text = "" result.text = result.text & lineIn FLUSH #fileIn CLOSE #fileIn END There is also a text box which I have renamed result. I make a few changes to the line of text and then I click on another button to write the changed file back to the hard disk. Here is the code PUBLIC SUB Button3_Click() DIM fileIn AS File DIM fname AS String fname = "/home/neilwin/basic/trial.txt" OPEN fname FOR CREATE AS #fileIn WRITE #fileIn, result.Text CLOSE #fileIn END Perhaps I should add that I am new to Gambas but not new to computers. When I check the new version of the file in Konqueror the changes are there but there is one extra character at the very start of the line. Is there a better way to do what I want?
