For some reason I am unable to write to text files. I'm using the most basic code possible.

+ Code Snippet

Open To Write 1,"test.txt"
Write String 1, "test"
Close File 1

The read equivalent of that works just fine so I have no idea why this doesn't work.

To write a file the file cannot exist so make sure you delete it first.

+ Code Snippet


` Check if the file exists and delete it
if file exist("test.txt") then delete file "test.txt"

open to write 1,"test.txt"
 write string 1,"This is test #45839102"
close file 1

` Open the file and read the string
open to read 1,"test.txt"
 read string 1,a$
close file 1

` Show that it wrote the file properly
print a$
wait key
