Hi :) You did the right thing by posting to this list first but your question is waaay beyond the skills of most people on this list.
I think you need to copy&paste your question to the devs list and maybe ask your own distro's devs too. It might be worth also asking in the general Gnu&Linux forum http://www.linuxquestions.org because they can usually handle almost any distro. Errrr, it's worth letting people know which distro you are using and version number might help too. Good luck and happy hunting!

If I use "Open" I got the error "Device I/O error" message. Are there any special function call needed to be done for the system files? User permission is good as I can access to the file using any other Linux commands. Following is the code I tried. It stalled on the first "Open" statement: Sub Main Dim iNumber As Integer Dim aFile As String aFile = "/dev/ttyS0" iNumber = Freefile Open aFile For Output As #iNumber Print #iNumber, "*IDN?" close #iNumber iNumber = Freefile Open aFile For Input As #iNumber While not eof(iNumber) Line Input #iNumber, sLine If sLine <>"" then sMsg = sMsg & sLine & chr(13) end if wend Close #iNumber Msgbox sMsg End Sub -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/BASIC-script-how-to-read-write-system-files-like-dev-null-in-Linux-tp4013296.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
