This is in helpfile too, Function FileOpen. If filename given doesn't exist, it is created. This helps you? Edited June 22, 2009 by snowmaker

How can you write to a file while you open it but don't write something to it?

case $button1
   $read1=guictrlread ($edit1)
   $read2=guictrlread($MonthCal1)
   $var = FileSaveDialog( "choose place to save", $MyDocsFolder, "Text files (*.txt)", 2)
   fileopen($var,1)
   filewriteline($var, $read1)
   filewriteline($var, $read2)
   fileclose($var)

$var = FileSaveDialog( "choose place to save", $MyDocsFolder, "Text files (*.txt)", 2)

fileopen($var&$read2,9)

After opening a file, one must write to it, then close it.

okay last problem when it saved it isent like a txt file ? like i set it to be in the save dialog why not ?

[nguyenbason]

Because default you type the name without txt then your program don't check for it. You must check if .txt is typed into file name

Case $button1
    $Read1 = GUICtrlRead($Edit1)
    $Read2 = GUICtrlRead($MonthCal1)
    $var = FileSaveDialog("choose place to save", $MyDocsFolder, "Text files (*.txt)", 2)
    If StringRight($var,4) <> ".txt" Then
        $var = $var & ".txt"
    EndIf
    FileOpen($var, 1)
    FileWriteLine($var, $read1)
    FileWriteLine($var, $read2)
    FileClose($var)
