I want to make it [lets sai for now] echo whats in the text box when iou [u,] press the send button.
How would I do this.


I can make stuff happen when I click a button.
I don't need ani help on that part.
I just need to know how to put what's in the text box into a var.

Also, how do I save to a file.
Like.


$bob = "Hello.";


How do I make a text document [example --- 'joe.txt' ] with $bob in it?

[rkynick]

$variable = TextBoxName.getvalue();

Something like that.

[Azjherben]

I'll tri that.

To communicate with files you use fileObjects.

Define a new fileObject like this.

Code: [Select]

new fileObject(myFileObject);
Then you can apply several different methods to communicate with files.
Path is the path from the base Blockland folder to your file.  Add-Ons/myFile.txt is an example.  We can also work with files inside .zip's, so you can use Add-Ons/Weapon_Sword/server.cs too.

Code: [Select]

myFileObject.openForRead(path);This opens a file for read.

Code: [Select]

myFileObject.openForAppend(path);This opens a file and adds to the end of it.

Code: [Select]

myFileObject.openForWrite(path);This writes to the file.  Rather than opening it and adding to the end, it actually clears the file and starts it off blank.

Now we can read/write from the file.

Code: [Select]

myFileObject.readLine();This reads the next line and returns it.  It's best to specify a variable if you want to know what it is.  For use when you opened a file for reading.

Code: [Select]

myFileObject.writeLine(text);This writes the next line and returns it.  Text is the text you write to it.  For use when you opened a file for writing/appending.
