[gen23]

I want my display to show eample:A

quite simply, you have to 'set the write' position before 'write to text file'  🙂

BTW, why write to -1 position (just curious)?

[gen23]

I try to put the set file positon infornt of the write to text...but result still the same..

abt the -1,i also not sure what to set..advise pls...thk

this is the new Vi that i change..putting the set file position infront...

made small modifications. look at them, and use as you fit.

btw, if your purpose is just to write at end of file, there are some high level subvis in the file I/O pallette which might fit the needs better.
generally the purpose of setting the write position is to replace some strings or values in the file, without rewriting the whole file.

btw the data shown appears next to the previous data directly. However, i want the data to appear on the next line instead.is it the problem of the set file position....the off set bytes i set wrongly??about some high level subvis in the file I/O pallette can name me some eaxple of it??

Hi gen23,

have you ever thought about adding a "line feed" or "carriage return" to your strings before writing to disc? No need to adjust offsets
