How do I create a formatted .txt file, that can be loaded into word pad etc.. |

www.wotsit.org might help http://www.wotsit.org/download.asp?f=wword60t |

what do you mean with formated ? You can simply create a .txt file with WriteFile and WirteLine commands ! In txt files it is not possible to set color or font ! It's just plain text. |

@klaar with formatted i guess he mean what the txtfile headers are. Every file has a header that identifies certain aspects of that file. Wotsit is a great resource for this.... hope it helps l8tr |

okay, but i think txt files got no headers .. well if i open them in a hexeditor there is just plain text. |

I guess he means something from here: http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?cat=8 |

@Klaas yes but the issue @ hand is formatted txt.... |

Thanks all, by formatted i mean saving a file with tabs in. |

Tab$ = Chr$(9) stream = WriteFile("C:\Formatted.txt") WriteLine(stream,Tab$+"This") WriteLine(stream,Tab$+Tab$+"Works") WriteLine(stream,Tab$+Tab$+Tab$+"Fine!") CloseFile(stream) |
