Sequential Files that are interactive

[LittleBeaner]

I am working a sequential file that is interactive. This part works but what my question is.

Why do my numbers not come out on the sample.dat with the 0's?

This is what it should look like:

001 3 1.10 100 .50



this is what it does look like.
1, 3, 1.1, 100, .5

Could someone please help me. I have been trying to figure it out and cannot.
thanks Cindy

its because a .dat file is in binary and in binary 001 is written the same way as 1 and the same with 1.10 and .50 .you might want to save it as a .txt file and read it fromt here because then you won't lose the extra zero's

The way to get around this is to use a RANDOM file and use strings: "001"
