Cool Notepad

[sam777]

I am making my own version of Notepad and it has been many months scince I last programed in VB. My question is, how can I make it so that I can open any file I like, i.e. "html, php, asp, dll..." and save it as any file I like. I want to save it as .php as default.

Thanks,
Sam

Use the Common Dialog and here is the filter
Use the same filter to save

   CommonDialog1.Filter = "AllFiles (*.*)|*.*|PHP Docs(*.Php) 
   |*.php|HTML Docs(*.htm)|*.htm"
   CommonDialog1.ShowOpen

[boiler]

dim drivepath as string
dim filename as string
dim pattern as string
pattern=".php"'file type

filename=txtFilename.text'filename
drivepath=txtDrivepath.text'drive letter ex: c:\

file=drivepath & filename & pattern

open file for output as #1 'opens the file

write #1,'what ever you want to write to the file

close #1'closes the file
