writing to a file

whenever i write to a file in vb it always puts the text into "quotes" and then writes it. how can i stop this?

Use Put, dim the variable as a string.

what do u mean? i have the data i want to write to a file in a variable and im going:

open "c:\blahblah.txt" for output as #1
write #1, info
close#1

and that writes the info to the file except it puts it inside quotes.

can u please give me an example of the puts thing?

thanks.

Put #1, , info

Or use Print instead of Write :)
