Not having much leuck with this

[bobheart]

I have no errors but I can't seem to get it to write to the txt file if the drive is ready or not . the msg box works .

$var = DriveStatus( "a:\" )
MsgBox(4096,"Status",$var)
$var = FileOpen("test.txt", 1)

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

FileWrite($var, "DriveStatus")


FileClose($var)

Don't you need to use the return of the DriveStatus call to put that in your file? The issue is that $var was getting overwritten with the FileOpen call, and you lost the return that held the status.

$status = DriveStatus( "a:\" )
MsgBox(4096,"Status",$status)
$var = FileOpen("test.txt", 1)

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

FileWrite($var, "DriveStatus is: " & $status)


FileClose($var)

Edited to match the MsgBox call to the new var name
