File Writing Problem

[Miyoko]

For some reason when I run this

Quote:

procedure file_write ( filename : string, written_line : string )
var fileNo : int
open : fileNo, filename, write, seek
seek : fileNo, *
write : fileNo, written_line
close : fileNo
end file_write

it writes exactly what I want, but it also writes all the string variables in the program to the text file also.

Quote:

test /GUI/Menu/menu_activated.bmp newgame_single newgame_1vs1 newgame_network /GUI/Menu/menu_deactivated.bmp /GUI/Menu/menu_activated.bmp /GUI/Menu/Config/menu_black.bmp /GUI/Menu/Config/menu_keys.bmp Load player 1 setup Load player 2 setup Apply pl

When what inputed was supposed to be just "test".
Anyway, if you have any idea why it's doing this let me know. Thanks ...

it depends on where you put it. you may be writing more than you want but we can't really tell from just that procedure. Posting the remainder of the code would be helpful to debug it.

It's just a procedure that gets called, looking at the code any decently made devolopment program would unset any variables after a procedure and or a function is executed. Apparently Turing 4.0.3 does not.

If you want your program debugged the post the full thing or summin and bold the code that you think is skrewing up....that would be helpful because from what you wrote we have aboslutely no clue what your aim is in doing this program is it to open a user specified file to save to or.....? yeha...while were on the topic...do ne of u know how to create a file thru winOOT....? i tried to do it...and the computer kept giving me errors like some restrictions on MS-DOS crap shizzle so i dont know if im using the right code...how would you go about creating a file..i want to create a new file for each player that uses the game and so when they open the game it says like:
Player (textbox)
Password (textbox)
(button) load user
(button) create user
and if the click on create user i get it to run a procedure that in essence creates a new text file and writes to it....
how would you do this...and would it be easier to just write to the same file and use seek to find and create users?
thanks in advance

Okay here's my code for the program, I would take little snippits but you will see where it's taking all these variables from.
