leuce 2 Posted September 2, 2015 Hello everyoneI want to create a new text file, in UTF8 encoding, without byte order mark, and then write content to it. However, it appears that I can't create a text file with FileOpen ("filename", 256), so I tried to get around that by creating a file using FileOpen ("filename", 2) and then reopening that file as "256". So, to my mind, this should work:$fileopen1 = FileOpen ("foo.txt", 2) FileClose ($fileopen1) $fileopen2 = FileOpen ("foo.txt", 256) FileWrite ($fileopen2, "asdf")...but it doesn't. It doesn't add "asdf" to the text file. How am I supposed to do this?ThanksSamuel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leuce 2 Posted September 2, 2015 $fileopen1 = FileOpen ("foo.txt", 256 + 2) FileWrite ($fileopen1, "asdf") Interesting, thanks. I would not have guessed this, since the user manual states that "256" is for not only reading but for both reading and writing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
