seperate lines

I have this code in a form:


private Sub Command1_Click()
on error resume next
d.Filter = "TextFiles |*.txt|"
d.ShowSave
Open d.filename for Output as #1
print #1, b.Text
Close #1
e.Filter = "TextFiles |*.txt|"
e.ShowSave
Open e.filename for Output as #1
print #1, c.Text
Close #1
f.Filter = "Testfile |*.txp|"
f.ShowSave
Open f.filename for Output as #1
print #1, d.filename & Chr(10) & e.filename & Chr(10)
Close #1

End Sub

private Sub Command2_Click()
on error resume next
f.Filter = "Text Projects |*.txp|"
f.ShowOpen
Open f.filename for input as #1
Line input #1, txt
a2.Text = txt
Line input #2, txt2
a3.Text = txt2

b2.LoadFile a2.Text
c.LoadFile txt
End Sub



What it's supposed to do is load 1 file. Seperate the 2 lines from the file into 2 seperate textboxes. Then in the textboxes, it reads the text from the textbox and opens the file from the path in the textbox. THe file is supposed to be opened into another textbox. The second textbox is supposed to do the same thing, except load a different file.

But when i run it, it only reads 1 line, and only loads 1 file. What am i doing wrong?

PS The *.txp file looks like this:

C:\test\000test\a.txt
C:\test\000test\b.txt

The Line Input # reads until it encounters a Carriage Return (Chr(13)). Your program which creates the record is using Chr(10) (Line Feed)
change the statement which reads

print #1, d.filename & Chr(10) & e.filename & Chr(10)
''' to
print #1, d.filename & Chr(13) & e.filename & Chr(13)

' or better yet
print #1, d.filename & vbCr & e.filename & vbCr

Ok, i've changed that, but it still loads only 1 file. Try testing out the code, the maybe you can tell me how to fix it

Thanks!

Testing your program. Command1 problem. Using vbCr instead of chr(10) I mentioned in earlier post solved problem of only reading one line

'
Command2 has two problems
Line Input #2,txt2
' Should read
Line Input #1, txt2
c.Loadfile txt
' should read
c.loadfile a3.txt
'
Here is the corrected copy

private Sub Command1_Click()
'on error resume next
d.Filter = "TextFiles |*.txt|"
d.ShowSave
Open d.FileName for Output as #1
print #1, b.Text
Close #1
e.Filter = "TextFiles |*.txt|"
e.ShowSave
Open e.FileName for Output as #1
print #1, c.Text
Close #1
f.Filter = "Testfile |*.txp|"
f.ShowSave
Open f.FileName for Output as #1
print #1, d.FileName & vbCr & e.FileName & vbCr
Close #1

End Sub

private Sub Command2_Click()
'on error resume next
f.Filter = "Text Projects |*.txp|"
f.ShowOpen
Open f.FileName for input as #1
Line input #1, txt
a2.Text = txt
Line input #1, txt2
a3.Text = txt2

b2.LoadFile a2.Text
c.LoadFile a3.Text
End Sub





NOTE: To find the errors, I commented the ON ERROR RESUME NEXT statements. They tend to mask a lot of problems.
