Hey guys... having problems writing to a text file

[CelticDragon]

I'm trying to get a load of edit fields to write to a specific text file.

The code is probably a bit long but I thought it would work.... Only problem is it's only adding the first variable %1% and nothing else. Tried a few things, like writing a text file with everything in it at once, but it just still puts %1% and a load of returns, until it's finished the list and then puts in %1% again....

Any ideas?

Code below for "On Mouse Click"....

%29% = EditFieldObject[EditField15].GetText
%28% = TextBoxObject[TextBox6].GetText
%27% = EditFieldObject[EditField12].GetText
%26% = EditFieldObject[EditField11].GetText
%25% = EditFieldObject[EditField10].GetText
%24% = EditFieldObject[EditField9].GetText
%23% = EditFieldObject[EditField8].GetText
"% = EditFieldObject[EditField7].GetText
%21% = TextBoxObject[TextBox5].GetText
%20% = TextBoxObject[TextBox4].GetText
%19% = TextBoxObject[TextBox3].GetText
%18% = TextBoxObject[TextBox2].GetText
%17% = TextBoxObject[TextBox1].GetText
%16% = EditFieldObject[Address1].GetText
%15% = EditFieldObject[BookingLevel].GetText
%14% = EditFieldObject[EditField5].GetText
%13% = EditFieldObject[EditField4].GetText
%12% = EditFieldObject[EditField2].GetText
%11% = EditFieldObject[EditField1].GetText
%10% = EditFieldObject[Country].GetText
%9% = EditFieldObject[ZipCode].GetText
%8% = EditFieldObject[City].GetText
%7% = EditFieldObject[Address2].GetText
%6% = EditFieldObject[Address1].GetText
%5% = EditFieldObject[TelephoneNumber].GetText
%4% = EditFieldObject[EmailAddress].GetText
%3% = EditFieldObject[LastName].GetText
%2% = EditFieldObject[FirstName].GetText
TextFile.Write ("C:\StephensTest.txt", "%1%")
TextFile.InsertLine ("C:\StephensTest.txt", "%2%", -1)
TextFile.InsertLine ("C:\StephensTest.txt", "%3%", -1)
TextFile.InsertLine ("C:\StephensTest.txt", "%4%", -1)
TextFile.InsertLine ("C:\StephensTest.txt", "%5%", -1)
TextFile.InsertLine ("C:\StephensTest.txt", "%6%", -1)

I should also probably explain that %1% is set from a list box, Mr. or Ms. and that is the only thing that is showing in the text file.

I have them declared as %1% %2% etc so I can also email them with the %0A and %0D switches, which I forgot and had to come here to get them.... will this work by cutting down on the mailto: command? I read on here somewhere that different programmes only let you have a certain amount of text in the mailto?

Thanks for reading down this far and not falling asleep!

That won't help the mailto command, since it's the contents of the variables that are sent in the mailto -- the variables are expanded before the mailto is sent. It doesn't matter how long the variable names are. As with people, it's what's inside that counts. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
