      Hi progggg,

      Yes, under Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 (c).
      Does the editor software (IDE) change anything in the code?

        Hello

        There is a good chance that even the old methods are still operational:

        open "file.txt" for output as #3 ' the # is optional
        print #3, "georges"
        close #3
        (c) 1979 - mathusalem

        * the number (here 3) is chosen by you. It's the file handle (basic handle, of course)
        * the mode (here output) defines the authorized operations. You can use input to read the file, append to add data at the end, but not input/output because you can't read & write simultaneously in a text file (that's reserved for files with direct access)

          Hello,

          thank you for responding so quickly :)
          but... that doesn't work.

          The compiler displays a lot of errors, such as "open is undeclared."

          Thank you for your help.

            Hello,

            The isolated neuron would need to do an update ... ^^ 

            Sub writeFile() Dim fp As Short Dim path As String fp = FreeFile path = "D:\file_Test.txt" FileOpen(fp, path, OpenMode.Append) PrintLine(fp, " Hello ") FileClose(fp) End Sub


            There you go ...

            ;o)

              Hello Polux31,

              Thank you, it works!

              Are there possibilities to write in a specific place?
              For example: Write at the beginning of the file, or at the end, etc.

              For those who are interested, I noticed that Print() simply writes the text, Printline() writes the text and goes to the next line.

              Best regards,
              Bilow.
