Writing to text files adding extra space

Hey all,

When I try to write to a file putting data from two list boxes it is adding an extra space in between the two list boxes data that is messing up my order when putting them back into the listboxes.

Here is my code... why is it putting a space after lstDisplay1's data is put into the file??

VB Code:

Dim j As Integer
            Open Dir & File1.List(File1.ListIndex) For Output Lock Read As #1
                For j = 0 To lstDisplay1.ListCount
                    Print #1, lstDisplay1.List(j)
                Next
                Print #1, "//"
                For j = 0 To lstDisplay2.ListCount
                    Print #1, lstDisplay2.List(j)
                Next
            Close #1

You may have ending spaces so trim it:

Trim(lstDisplay1.List(j))

Actually you are going past your index for lstDisplay1.List, which is inserting blanks.

Try:

VB Code:

For j = 0 To lstDisplay1.ListCount - 1
 
And
 
For j = 0 To lstDisplay2.ListCount - 1

No the count is how many there are in the list box so if there's two items that means that there will be items 0 and 1.

in short, its 0 based (but some controls are 1 based which makes no sense, but typical of MS)
