is there a way to have entered text (name entered in textbox) save to the file or a file?

Sure. Search help for FileWrite and see the examples.

i tried that but couldnt get them to work....

Not gonna write out the code for you. The example in the help file works. Please post your own code attempt so we can try to figure out where things went wrong.

FileWrite will append to the opened file. so it will be like a log file.

I would personally use _FileWriteLog() to make a record in the logfile. then you get timestamps when the login attempt was made. see helpfile on the use of _FileWriteLog()

Small correction: FileWrite will not append to opened file by default. It depends on the way that FileOpen was called. From FileOpen help:

FileOpen ( "filename", mode )

(........)

Mode (read or write) to open the file in.

Can be a combination of the following:

0 = Read mode

1 = Write mode (append to end of file)

2 = Write mode (erase previous contents)

4 = Read raw mode

8 = Create directory structure if it doesn't exist (See Remarks).

Both write modes will create the file if it does not already exist. The folder path must already exist (except using mode '8' - See Remarks).

Furthermore, just to be complete: you can write whatever string you read from the inputbox, just do for instance

PSEUDO:
$input = Inputbox(........)
$file = fileopen(.....)
filewriteline($file,$input)
fileclose($file)

of course, I just read the top in the helpfile about filewrite. ...Append a line of text to the end of a previously opened text file... but it really depends on if the file was opened with the append mode. I stand corrected.

how do i get the file to save the output of the textbox? i am trying to get the information the user typed into the input box to save to the file, like a record of who has logged in type thing...

I answered this in my prev post. See my pseudocode example, try it, and again like I said before:

If you can't get it right, please post your attempt and we will try and help you figure out where things went wrong.

Here, now you show that you tried :whistle:

Ok now for some explaining: what you will need to do is put the result of the InputBox (what the user entered) into a variable, for instance $name or $input, or whatever you want. (Otherwise it will ask for the name, but the result won't be remembered because it is not put in a variable.) Like this:

$name = InputBox("Name?", "Enter Your Name Here")oÝ÷ Ù8^*.q©ð®+^¶´ß©Úëh¶WÊ-£
âµæ§{   bëh¶WØ^®­m©© Åý¶Þ)ݶ¬¶¸§*.j·°®+b,

Hope it helps.

ok and how would i use these? i was thinking of using filewritelog, but it creates a new file. i need a list of the users and when they log on/out saved to the same file. any suggestions? thanks for all your help sadbunny! :whistle:

Filewritelog should work fine... I ran this code three times and it just appended the log lines to the same file (and did not create a new one). What code did you use for filewrite log? Are you sure you made it attempt to write to the same file each time?

#include <file.au3>
;
_FileWriteLog("c:\my.log","Text 1")
;
_FileWriteLog("c:\my.log","Text 2")

Running this three times resulted in one file, named c:\my.log ofcourse, containing:

2007-03-22 18:50:11 : Text 1

2007-03-22 18:50:11 : Text 2

2007-03-22 18:50:59 : Text 1

2007-03-22 18:50:59 : Text 2

2007-03-22 18:51:08 : Text 1

2007-03-22 18:51:08 : Text 2

But, for use of those macro's, try this:

$string = "it's now day "&@MDAY&" of month "&@MON&" of year "&@YEAR&". The time is "&@HOUR&":"&@MIN&":"&@SEC&"."

MsgBox(0,"example",$string)

You should be able to build this into a string to write to a log file yourself. If you don't want to use _fileWriteLog() that is.
