Unwanted spacing in outputting file

[Xero]

I use this block of code to output a number to a plain text file:

Dim counter As Double
counter = 1
FileOpen(1, "output.txt", OpenMode.Output)
PrintLine(1, counter)
FileClose(1)

Then I opened the "output.txt" with notepad and this line appeared:

_1_

where the underscores represent a space.

How can I get rid of those spaces? Thanks.

Use 'WriteLine' instead of 'PrintLine'.

Xero,

Have a look at the streamwriter, in my opinion that is much easier to use
than the very outdated Bacic method you use now.

I hope this helps?
