i would need to use .txtand .mod files (.mod is basically .txt with a different exotension).

ok heres what i need:

have the user enter a few things in a GUI, then add a few things before and after what the user enters. confused? how about an example:

the user enters Joe. save this as a txt file: Your name is Joe!

heres a test for ya

$answer = InputBox("Question", "Where were you born?", "Planet Earth", "", _
    -1, -1, 0, 0)
FileOpen("text.txt", 1); to write
FileWriteLine("Test.txt", "You were born on " & $answer & ", and your mama too!");lol
FileClose("text.txt")

; later

$file = FileOpen("test.txt", 0)

; Check if file opened for reading OK
If $file = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf

; Read in lines of text until the EOF is reached
While 1
    $line = FileReadLine($file)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    MsgBox(0, "Line read:", $line)
Wend

FileClose($file)

hope it helps

FileOpen("text.txt", 1); to write
FileWriteLine("Test.txt", "You were born on " & $answer & ", and your mama too!");lol
FileClose("text.txt")

IIRC it should be

$h_file = FileOpen("text.txt", 1); to write
FileWriteLine($h_file, "You were born on " & $answer & ", and your mama too!");lol
FileClose($h_file)
