Speech marks within my .txt file

Hello,

I am currently writing a program that browses through the user's files looking for a file called "spawn-config.cfg". Once it finds the file it will open it and rewrite the content (except the last line) to a temporary file called "spawningtempfile.txt". Then it will input what my program has written and then add the last line into the file. The both files are closed and the original one is deleted. After it has been deleted my "spawningtempfile.txt" is renamed to "spawn-config.cfg". This code works perfectly! Except on each line that you write using my JagexHouseBreaker HD program comes out with speech marks at the beginning and end... Could someone please tell me why it is doing this and if you have the time how to fix it. Thanks!

Ryan



CREATION OF THE TEMP FILE:

Code:

---


      'CREATING A TEMP FILE



        If System.IO.File.Exists(Label1.Text) = True Then

            Dim buffer1 As String = "spawningtempfile"
            Dim EndOf As String = "[END OF FILE]"


            FileOpen(1, Label1.Text, OpenMode.Input)
            FileOpen(2, Form1.TextBox1.Text & "\Data\cfg\spawningtempfile.txt", OpenMode.Output)

            While Not EOF(1)

                Input(1, buffer1)
                If buffer1 <> EndOf Then
                    WriteLine(2, buffer1)

                Else
                    WriteLine(2, TextBox7.Text)
                    WriteLine(2, buffer1)
                End If


            End While

            FileClose(1)
            FileClose(2)

            System.IO.File.Delete(Label1.Text)
            My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(Form2.Label2.Text & "\Data\cfg\spawningtempfile.txt", "spawn-config.cfg")


            MsgBox("The NPC Spawn-code has been sent to your file.")

        Else
            MsgBox("Sorry but the file does not exist.")
        End If

OUTPUT OF THE PROGRAM:

Code:

---


"spawn = 1265        6885        5687        0        0        10        600        600        Rock Crab"
"[END OF FILE]"

The reason for the quotes is the use of the WriteLine function. If you replace it with PrintLine you will lose the quotes.

On as side note I woud point you towards using the System.IO.Streamreader Class and System.IO.StreamWriter Class in place of the FileOpen method which exists in .NET mostly for backward compatability from VB6.

Hope this helps :)

Absolutely fantastic thank you very much! And I only started coding VB about 2 weeks ago so I will look into your method. But I am just looking stuff up online and asking my dad at the moment. As he used to write programs in VB for work at Xerox.
