hi
try using menu Extra | macro | record New Macro
then perform a 'save as ...' as txt file.
close the recording and look what word has written (Alt+F11)
something like -
-
ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="NewName.txt", FileFormat:=wdFormatText, _
-
LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles:=True, WritePassword _
-
:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts:=False, _
-
SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, SaveAsAOCELetter:= _
-
False
-

that's fine, but later i need to refer back to that text. how would i do that?

hi if you want it accessed by VB you need only to use OPEN ...
Open "Newname.tx t" For Input As #1
While Not EOF(1)
Line Input #1, p
..
.. put any nice code here ..
..
Wend
Close #1
hate to be a pain but could you explan what each line of the code does, i don't just copy and paste code, i have to learn what it does.

hi here you go
Open "Newname.tx t" For Input As #1
opens the file you just wrote using the macro from previous mail for reading and call that #1
While Not EOF(1)
if the file has not ended (eof=end of file)
Line Input #1, p
then read a line and call that p
..
.. put any nice code here ..
don't know what you want to do with p
..
Wend
do so until you don't have any more lines in your file
Close #1
and don't forget to close, otherwise you can't open it again.
ok how can i apply this method to writing to the text file? the save as option doesn't quite do what i want.

hi
to avoid endless communication, can you provide me with info what you want to do in the textfile and how you want to save it again?
apollogies,
when i'm working on the text in a word document i want to make a backup so if i make a mistake i can come back to the original.
I need to copy the text out of the document, carry on working in that document and then copy the text back in.
any clearer?

yes ok, but why you want a backup as .txt file i don't see.
disadvantage of a textfile from word is, that you only save plain text.
why not set option to create always a backup file ?

Hi!
What is standard and direct way (within Oracle 9.2 stored procedures)
for
writing binary data from Oracle to external file on disk?
We have tried to use UTL_FILE package, but it operates on files
consisting out of "line" of size no more than 32767 bytes and adds new_line
symbol upon closing files.
Also we checked out interMedia types and packages for writing BLOB to
disk but now we get stuck with some strange error messages.

Hi,
I have an application where i want to write data to a file, the data is
being sent from an external source. I know the total size of the data and
then i retrieve the data in small segments from the source. This data is
written to file in a loop.
My question.
1. Will it be useful to increase the file size initially then seek to 0 and
start writing to file. whether there will be any performance improvements

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
