_FileWriteToLine works except with numbers

[zvvyt]

Trying to make a program which will control another program by writing to an .ini file.

It all works great with letters, but when it's going to read from 3 dropdowns in the GUI and then write it, it gets the values but doesn't write it down.

Try

_FileWriteToLine("Config.ini",4,String($time),1)

[zvvyt]

Try

_FileWriteToLine("Config.ini",4,String($time),1)

Works like a charm

Big thanks

But how come you have to use the text String before the function name?

If you can explain it I'd be happy

[dbzfanatic]

The String() function just converts something to a string. _FileWriteToLine() seems to like strings so that's what I did. As an example:

$a = 1
$b = 2
String($a + $b)

would output "3" and not 3. Also as a precaution when you read from this (if you read from it with another script) make sure to use Number() on the read data or String() on the data to compare it to.

Edit: Typo

this line in the UDF excludes anything except a string...

If Not IsString($sText) Then Return SetError(6, 0, 0)
