Filewrite and user inputs

[Senach]

Greetings all.

I know this is a foolish question, but this is the first programming of any type Ive done since basic on my Apple IIe

Anyway, what Im doing is having info put into a series of fields and then Im wanting to write them into a single line of a text file so it harvested by another program. Heres what I have:

$file = FileOpen("C:\scripts\test.txt", 1)

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

FileWrite($file, $loc1 " , "$start1 " , "$loc1a" , "$start1a" , "$end1a" , "$loc1b" , "$start1b" , "$end1b" , "$end1 & @CRLF)
FileWrite($file, "nextline" & @CRLF)
FileWrite($file, "lastline")

FileClose($file)

When I run it I get an Error in expression message. I know its just something stupid Im missing, but I cant find an example in the help files or here on the forum to show me how to do something like this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

FileWrite($file, $loc1 &" "& $start1 &" "&$loc1a&" "&$start1a&" "&$end1a&" "&$loc1b&" "&$start1b&" "&$end1b&" "&$end1)

You need the append operator "&" between every string and variable (note the syntax for breaking over a line with the underscore "_"):

FileWrite($file, $loc1 & " , " & $start1 & " , " & $loc1a & " , " & $start1a & " , " & $end1a & _
        " , " & $loc1b & " , " & $start1b & " , " & $end1b & " , " & $end1 & @CRLF)

Edit: Oops, missed one...

Thank you! I knew I was just something simple I was overlooking! It works like a charm now!
