editing .txt files with edit box


Recommended Posts

i am still pretty new to autoit and i need help.Posted Image

i want to be able to type something into an editbox and press a button that saves the text to a .txt file exactly as typed.And with the same button,be able to load the text of that same .txt file and display it in the editbox for editing.and you can edit different files by typing in the name of the file into another editbox and it loads that file. as it is it does not work the way i want it to.

so far the edit part has an uncontrolled loop and the save only saves to a certain point

should i have a notepad object in there instead?

i will upload a small portion of my script so you can see what i mean

Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image Thanks alot! Idid not know that you could do that with the "filewrite". I looked in the AutoIt3.chm but it was not very clear to me what it could do.I was putting the edit thing off for a long time because i knew it would be hard for me.

anyways would you like my full script? it works well but it could probably be shortened. it is a" word maker".this is my script skill improving project if you E-mail me i will E-mail you the link to the file. it has an install to add the needed files.

why does everyone do this?

Func _writetext()

EndFunc ;==>_writetext

So that you can see what function it is from the end... Makes sense when you have very long functions.

Besides... It's neat :mellow: I know some people who do the same for all blocks, for instance:

If $sTest = "This is a test" Then

EndIf ; $sTest = "This is a test"

Melba23

thanks for the script again. i found a problem with the script, it makes a new file when you press the save button when there is no file by the name that is entered in the inputbox. but because my program is a lot different than the snippet you made for me a new if...then sequence fixed it. but this is basically what I did.

so i am guessing that you like the idea of editing text in your own script, and decided to improve on it.

and because of your help with the .txt editor i am finished my script. "Word Maker4.0" and will upload it. so i can now move on to a useful program. "The last calculator you will ever need!"

; Check if the search was successful
If $search = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "No files found in current directory")
EndIf

While 1 ;list all files in current directory with file type .txt until all are found and listed
    local $fileer = FileFindNextFile($search)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($Thebox,$fileer & @CRLF)
WEnd

; Close the search handle
FileClose($search)


EndFunc ;==>findallfiles

I would like to know how to list all of the files without the .txt at the end
