Code:

dim as integer ff
dim as integer i

ff = freefile

open "test.txt" for output as #ff

  for i = 0 to 19
    print #ff, i

  next

close #ff

Do you want to make the txt file while running the program? Edit it there? In that case, use shell.

Code:

SHELL"EDIT yo.txt" 'makes a txt file named yo in default directory.
                             'Opens MS-DOS text edit application.

SHELL"SHELL D:/files/yo.txt" 'specifies where to put file and opens
                                          'MS-DOS text edit applicatoin.

Code:

dim as integer ff
dim as integer i

[b]ff = freefile[/b]

open "test.txt" for output as #ff

  for i = 0 to 19
    print #ff, i

  next

close #ff

Uh... I'm pretty sure that is an FB command there.

Code:

dim as integer ff
dim as integer i

Unable to check it out, but does QB eat this? I believe it's:

Code:

dim ff as integer
etc...

youre right! i even seperated them, but reversed the syntax... damn qb... that syntax's just one of the thousands of reasons why fb pwns it
