I'm having a problem with file a writting strings to it then reading those strings

ex.
string1$="hello"
string2$="word"

`those are just fillers...

make file "file.txt"
open file to write 1,"file.txt"
write string 1,string1$
write string 1,string2$
close file 1

wait key

open to read 1,"file.txt"
read string 1,string1$
read string 1,string2$
close file 1

wait key

and samething goes with floats

i even tried making another program just using the last half of that code and linking it to open that txt file and it still didnt read anything...

if anyone could help, that would be greatly appreciated

How do you know that it's not reading if you don't have any print statements?

Before a file can be written it needs to be deleted. Add this before opening a file to write:



And get rid of "make file"... both "make file" and "open to write" both require the file to not exist otherwise it won't work. So you're basically making a file right before making a file.

i see what i didnt do:
deleting the file and clearing strings

that might be why it wasnt doing anything...
