Writing Binary Files

[Ryno]

Using the put statement writes to 1 byte.

How can I write to 2 bytes (1 word)

Example, i want to write 00 67 at offset 00.

IT would look like this in a hex editor
0067

But if you do this:
put #1, &H00, &H67
it writes to the first byte...

There has to be a simple way around this but I can't figure it out...

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

the second parameter in the put command is the offset in the file.
Try

Put #llFH, , Chr$(&H0) & Chr$(&H67)

Thanks for that Roger, yeah I realise the second parameter is the offset, 00H is where i wanted to write 0067H. It was the Chr$() that did the trick. Thanks again for your help!
