[RESOLVED] Unwanted " when writing to file

Hi i have a small problem when writing to a file, it writes unwanted " at the begining and end.

vb Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim str As String
str = "[Test]" & vbNewLine & "S0=ftp.mysite.com" & vbNewLine & "S1=grabs" & vbNewLine & "[email protected]" & vbNewLine & "S3=password" & vbNewLine & "S4=http://www.mysite.com/grabs/"
    Open App.Path & "\settings.ini" For Output As #1
    Write #1, str
    Close #1
End Sub

the output is

Code:

---

"[Test]
S0=ftp.mysite.com
S1=grabs
[email protected]
S3=password
S4=http://www.mysite.com/grabs/"

---

when is should be

Code:

---

[Test]
S0=ftp.mysite.com
S1=grabs
[email protected]
S3=password
S4=http://www.mysite.com/grabs/

---

Does anyone have a soloution? Thanks

Write to the file like this:

vb Code:

Open App.Path & "\settings.ini" For Binary Access Write As #1
Put #1, , str
Close #1

[Edit]
Why aren't you using WritePrivateProfileString API to write to the INI file ?

Thanks that works for the last " but the begining is still weird, looks like this.

Code:

---

 e [Test]
S0=ftp.mysite.com
S1=grabs
[email protected]
S3=password
S4=http://www.mysite.com/grabs/

---

Nevermind i figured it out thanks just did

vb Code:

Open App.Path & "\settings.ini" For Output As #1
    Print #1, str
    Close #1

If I use the same code you are using, I am not getting that stuff at the beginning... are you sure that's the only code you are using ?

This usually happens when you save a data type other than string (like Variant).

Also, try deleting the file if it's already there, then run your code...
