				Hey guys, I've been helped many times by CompSci but never actually posted anything as I wasn't a member.  I've looked for a long time on this subject but cant find exactly what I'm looking for.
 
 
Im making a "Teacher's Mark Book" program using records, writing to files, ect...
 
 
Simple enough, except that I cant figure out how to save the string in the GUI text field to a file when the user hits "Submit" 
 
 
I would be overjoyed to hear any input on this.  Thanks in advance, and let me know if I have been unclear in any way.
 
 
Cheers |

				There are three parts to this:
 
 
triggering a procedure to start on click (basic GUI setup)
 
 
getting the text into a string variable (technically optional, but it's easier to understand this)
 
 
Writing that string variable to a file. |

				| Okay, so how would I take a string from the text field and make it a separate  variable? This may strike you as something obvious but I can be slow at times.  Thanks for your help. |
