I'm new to RB and have searched all of the threads and documentation for a way to save a multi line editfield contents to a plain text file without any rtf code.
What I'm trying to do is to create an Html editor and it cannot have any rtf code in it. All of the examples I've seen are for a single line editfield and are not compatable with my app. I'm using RB 5.2 for Windows and am running Windows ME as an operating system. Any help would be greately appreciated --- With warmest regards, Danny ____________________________________________________________ Find what you are looking for with the Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRCCcos10 _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html> |

Save the EditField contents as text, not Styled EditField. I am not sure at 100% that this really helps (not tested). If that is not the case, try BinaryStream... Of course, you will loose (if that works as you want) the styles :( Another solution could be to use a standard EditField (no styles), but then you do not have colors, Bold/Italic/and so on... in your html editor :( Compromises...

I used the BinaryStream and it works, you're a genius when I'm as rich as Bill Gates I'll buy you the fully staffed home of your dreams along with any vehicles you want (grin)
For posterity sake this is the code I used: Dim WriteToFile as BinaryStream Dim f as FolderItem ftSaveFolderItem("Html","") If f <> Nil Then WriteToFileðCreateBinaryFile("Html") WriteToFile.Write Editfield1.Text WriteToFile.close Me.Title o.Name End If Hopefully this will help someone in the future facing a similar problem. --- With warmest regards, Danny --------- Original Message --------- DATE: Sun, 30 May 2004 09:58:07 From: Emile Schwarz <<email address removed>> To: <email address removed> Cc: > ><email address removed> wrote: >> Subject: Saving an EditField to text not rtf >> From: "Danny Jackson" <<email address removed>> >> Date: Sun, 30 May 2004 00:16:09 -0400 >> >> I'm new to RB and have searched all of the threads and documentation for a way to save a multi line editfield contents to a plain text file without any rtf code. >> >> What I'm trying to do is to create an Html editor and it cannot have any rtf code in it. >> >> All of the examples I've seen are for a single line editfield and are not compatable with my app. >> >> I'm using RB 5.2 for Windows and am running Windows ME as an operating system. >> >> Any help would be greately appreciated >> >Danny, I think you will not like my answer...
