alright, so by now I have gotten down the commands to write and read from a text file, but how do you get the strings you write to stay there?

so with this code


Where the test file only contains the line "Data" to start with.

how come "another bit of data" is not in the text file when re-opened outside the program?

You have to delete the file before writing something. So if you want to add something to your file, you must record all it's data, delete the file, and finally rewrite it with your new string.
