What is wrong with this Output Statement
 

I am trying to output a number that is entered into a textbox called adminsundaycpaTextBox.Text. This number is supposed to be entered into a text file called Sundaypm.Text

I had absolutely no idea how to use visual basic 1 month ago, and now I am trying to learn. So here is my code. for the output statement.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click




' Open the file for output.
FileOpen(1, "Sundaypm.txt", OpenMode.Output)
' Close before reopening in another mode.


' Calculate Checkpoint A situation.


adminsundaycpaTextBox.Text = adminsundaycpaTextBox.Text

Write(1)
FileClose(1)
Me.Close()
End Sub


There was not much help online, because most was for older versions of visual basic. I learned this much using the index feature in visual basic. Thank you for your replys.

That piece of code there does absolutely zip. Nadda. You are telling it to reassign its value to itself. In other words, x = x.

You don't seem to be using the right code for writing files. At least according to this thread. You might want to use the second example ("An example of writing a file").

Edit: Oh, you're using a newer version of VB that doesn't support this? Hmph.
Try Write(adminsundaycpaTextBox.Text).

I figured it out, but now I am having a trouble reading from the file and storing the result in a variable so that I can compare it to another. Any ideas on how to read one number from a file and store it into a variable?

Thank you for your reply, I am using a different computer otherwise I would share the solution code that I used.
