filewrite saves as 1, 2, or3

[metalicaman8]

when I put in

CODE

If $msg = $Save Then

;When you press Save

;~~

$name = FileSaveDialog("Save file", @DesktopDir, "Encrypted Text File (*.txe)")

FileWrite($name&'.txe, $EditText)

EndIf

and save anything I end up with a file that has the correct extension of .txe but when opened in notepad it shows a 3 instead of the saved text. Can somebody tell me what is wrong with my saving script?

You don't show the code for where you get/set the value for $EditText, but I suspect that it's from something like

$EditText = GuiCtrlCreateEdit(.......)

In which case, your capturing the instance number of the gui created element.

You need something like

$EditedText = GuiControlRead($EditText)

then

FileWrite($name&'.txe, $EditedText)

One more question. If I compile it to an exe and it has

CODE

#include <guiconstants.au3>

#include <string.au3>

If I move it to another computer do I need to move these files? Should I copy paste them into my code instead?

No you don't. The include function compiles the library in the brackets right into the exe.

thanks. It works now thanks to you guys. It is an edited version of the encryption tool that comes as an example. It saves the file as a .txe and opens .txe files. It also remembers the level of encryption and automatically sets it when you open a .txe file.
