Hi Lennox.
The code below will only execute if myExpFile already exists.
"If f.exists then"
So if you are running for the first time, myExpFile won't exist yet,
so it won't be created.
Once you have created myExpFile, this code will (correctly?)
overwrite it.

Hi Russ & Briman,
I have this:
Dim f As folderitem
Dim TOS As TextOutputStream
f = DesktopFolder.Child("myExpFile")
If f exists then
If f <> Nil then
TOS = f.CreateTextFile
TOS.WriteLine FirstName.Text
TOS.WriteLine LastName.Text
TOS.WriteLine Age.Text
TOS.WriteLine Address.Text
TOS.Close
end if
else
'do nothing
end if
but this does not create any file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Lennox.

I believe you would find the f=DesktopFolder() method useful.
You could use that to initialize a folderitem, then use the f.child
method to initialize each of your text files.

Hello,
I have a Pushbutton named Export, which,when clicked, I would like
it to export data (EF1.text, EF2.text, EF3.text, EF4.text) from
some chosen editfields (EF1, EF2, EF3, EF4) to a new text file on
the desktop.
Not Save or SaveAs like when the whole document is saved.
How is that done?
Thanks.
Lennox.
