save string to text file

[chedderslam]

I am trying to save the contents of a control to a text(.xml) file.

I have tried the following:
string s_file_name, s_quote_response

s_file_name = 'C:\quote1.xml'

s_quote_response = tab_data.tabpage_result.mle_1.text

s_quote_response.saveas(s_file_name,"","")

I have also tried this:
string s_file_name, s_quote_response

s_file_name = 'C:\quote1.xml'

tab_data.tabpage_result.mle_1.saveasascii(s_file_name,"","")

Please help.

Saveas and Saveasascii are used in Datawindows, datastores, graphs, or OLE controls not 'standard' controls like multilineedits.

You will need to use FileOpen, FileWrite, and FileClose functions to do what you are trying to do.

String ls_filename, ls_filedata
Long ll_file

// set variable values
ls_filename = sle_filename.Text
ls_filedata = mle_data.Text

// open the file for write
ll_file = FileOpen( ls_filename, TextMode!, Write!, LockReadWrite!, Replace! )

// write to the file
FileWriteEx( ll_file, ls_filedata )

// close the file
FileClose( ll_file )
