Hello All, 

I am having some issues with the below script. I want to take a value from an input box and write it to a text file (stored in the same location named Config.txt).

 

Results: script runs however the text file does not get populated with the result from the input. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

#include <File.au3>

Global $sIniFile = @ScriptDir & "\" & "Config.txt"
MsgBox(1,"",$sIniFile) ;Test to see if $sIniFile is working - Comes back as expected 

Global $script1 = InputBox("Window Info", "Enter the name of your program identified using Auto Window Info")
_FileWriteToLine($sIniFile, 1, $script1, 1)

What error is returned by the _FileWriteToLine?

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I'm not getting any errors on the console the script runs and finishes but does not add any info to the txt file. (I am new to this do I need to be running in a debug mode or is there a location where errors would be logged that is not set to the console window?)

And you made sure the file is not empty? Look in the help file for _FileWriteToLine, it must have at least as many lines as $iLine or it will fail. Try something like this:

#include <File.au3>

Global $sIniFile = @ScriptDir & "\" & "Config.txt"
MsgBox(1,"",$sIniFile) ;Test to see if $sIniFile is working - Comes back as expected

Global $script1 = InputBox("Window Info", "Enter the name of your program identified using Auto Window Info")
_FileWriteToLine($sIniFile, 1, $script1, 1)
    If @error Then ConsoleWrite(@error & @CRLF)

Then correlate the @error number with the help file.

Do you need it to be on a specific line? If you're just looking to append to the end of an existing file, try FileWriteLine instead.
