Changes to Text File

[SMcNeill]

You're missing parts of it because you're still printing half to the screen and half to the file.

    IF LEFT$(LineTxt, 1) = "." THEN
        PRINT CHR$(13); CHR$(13)  'HERE YOU ARE PRINTING TO THE SCREEN.
        PRINT MID$(LineTxt, 2); " "; 'HERE TOO, THIS IS TO THE SCREEN
    ELSE
        WRITE #2, LineTxt 'write output to new file test.txt AND YET HERE IS TO THE FILE
        PRINT LineTxt; 'prints output to screen
    END IF

You'll need to convert all your print statements to the file, and not just part of them.  ;)

I've always used PRINT #2, text$

WRITE #2 is something different

And everything you PRINT to screen do the exact same PRINT #2 to the file

    IF LEFT$(LineTxt, 1) = "." THEN
        PRINT CHR$(13); CHR$(13) ' <<<<<<<< this makes empty line PRINT #2, " "
        PRINT MID$(LineTxt, 2); " "; '<<<              and this                    PRINT #2, MID$(lineTxt, 2); " ";
    ELSE



PERFECT!

Thank you so much. It was the WRITE command I was using instead of PRINT. I thought if you were send to a file you used WRITE.

Thanks again.

        WRITE #2, LineTxt 'write output to new file test.txt '<<<<<<< PRINT #2, LineTxT
        PRINT LineTxt; 'prints output to screen

I just tested with forecaste.txt and looks good with PRINT #2 instead of WRITE #2

PERFECT!

That done it. I know now not to sue the WRITE and use the PRINT.

Thanks again, bplus
