Write to .txt file!

[Skorm]

Allright,

(Highly needed) I'm working on a little system for school.

I need to create something that when a user types something into an input box and presses "Sla op in Database" (Save in DB) that it will save his/her input to an text file.

I got it working, but not quite as it has to be working.

When i open up the txt file, it has a bunch of 3's in it...

(Optional) And how can i ID every input?

so when i open it up later i have an overview of what has been saved into that txt file?

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <AVIConstants.au3>
#include <TreeViewConstants.au3>

; GUI
GuiCreate("Magazijnbeheer", 300, 70)
GuiSetIcon(@SystemDir & "\explorer.exe", 0)

$invoer = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 15, 23, 180, 20)
$voerin = GUICtrlCreateButton("Sla op in Database", 197, 23, 100, 20)

GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Model:", 125, 7, 400, 15)
GuiCtrlCreateLabel("bijvoorbeeld: Videokaart, Computer, Netwerkkaart etc etc", 12, 50, 400, 15)


GUISetState() 

    ; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
            Case $msg = $voerin

                $TextFileName = "invoer.txt"
 
                FileOpen ( "invoer.txt" , 1 )
                FileRead("invoer.txt")
                FileWrite($TextFileName, $invoer)

        EndSelect
    WEnd



; GUI MESSAGE LOOP
GuiSetState()
While GuiGetMsg() <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
WEnd

Thank you in Advance!!

Skorm,

The 3's you are seeing in the file are the ControlID of the Input - the code AutoIt uses to identify it. You need to save the contents of the input which you get through GUICtrlRead.

Take a look at this:

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <AVIConstants.au3>
#include <TreeViewConstants.au3>

; GUI
GUICreate("Magazijnbeheer", 300, 70)
GUISetIcon(@SystemDir & "\explorer.exe", 0)

$invoer = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 15, 23, 180, 20)
$voerin = GUICtrlCreateButton("Sla op in Database", 197, 23, 100, 20)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Model:", 125, 7, 400, 15)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("bijvoorbeeld: Videokaart, Computer, Netwerkkaart etc etc", 12, 50, 400, 15)

GUISetState()

$hFile = FileOpen("invoer.txt", 1)

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $msg = $voerin
            FileWriteLine($hFile, GUICtrlRead($invoer))
            GUICtrlSetData($invoer, "")
    EndSelect
WEnd

FileClose($hFile)

I have also tidied up the file writing code a bit for you - and removed the surplus loop at the end of the script.

And how can i ID every input? so when i open it up later i have an overview of what has been saved into that txt file?

Not quite sure what you want here. Can you explain a bit more.

Example to write user input into a txt file

$Form1 = GUICreate("Login", 355, 350)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("USERNAME:", 16, 100, 133, 17)
$Username = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 145, 95, 185, 21)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

;Write to aw.txt
    While 1
        $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
        Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE 
                     Exit 1
        Case $Login
                 $s_username  = GUICtrlRead($Username)
                 _FileWriteToLine("aw.txt", 11(line 11), 'Username = '& $s_username, 1)
        EndSwitch
    WEnd

First of all thanks for the help, It works!

The program i'm working on is meant to register what comes in and out a storage.

Like if someone needs a computer to repair, He has to register his Model/In or out/Serial Number/Person that takes the product/Date

And later on at the end of the day, We need to check what went in and out.

So now im stuck again.

When you saved something to that Text file (Sla op in Database) the GUI needs to close and another GUI must pop-up For the serial number.

And i need to figure out how to create a overview on what has been comming in and has been going out on that day.

Help would be appreciated!

Skorm,

Here is a very rough and ready version of how you might do what you want - plenty of room for improvement here!

I have switched to using the IniFile format - it makes saving and loading data much easier. However, be aware that IniFiles are limited to about 32k of data, so if you have a lot of transactions to save you (and suppose I) may need to think again.

I have commented what is going on:

$sFile = "invoer.txt"
