Output to file on disk in windows 10

[Kees van Dongen]

Print and print#1 or print#2 etc all output to screen in stead off diskfile, what's wrong?

If you post your code, we might be able to help you more easily. As it is, there is not enough info to give you a definitive answer.

An example use:

Code: Select all

dim as string fileName1 = "test_file_1.txt"
dim as string fileName2 = "test_file_2.txt"

if open(fileName1 for output as #1) <> 0 then
	print "Error opening: " & fileName1
	end 'closes all open files as well
else
	print "File created: " & fileName1
end if

if open(fileName2 for output as #2) <> 0 then
	print "Error opening: " & fileName2
	end 'closes all open files as well
else
	print "File created: " & fileName2
end if

print #1, "Test 111"
close #1

print #2, "Test 222"
close #2

end 'closes all open files as well

print#1 or print#2 etc all output to screen ...

There must be a space between print and the file number !

wrong:

Code: Select all

print#1 
print#2 
sleep

OK:

Code: Select all

print #1,your_data_or_var 
print #2,your_data_or_var

Interesting:
print#1 outputs "1"
print#2 outputs "2"
you can interpret it as fbc print the file number "1" and "2" but for me it looks like a tiny parsing bug ?

Thanks to all, it was a mistake of a former life with PB. A space was the problem.
