[RESOLVED] Saving textbox.text to file as written
I have a routine that saves multiple vars to a file...
Code:
Friend Sub SaveMap()
Try
For Each ctrl In Me.Controls.Cast(Of Control)().ToArray()
If ctrl.Tag = "room" Then
FileOpen(3, MapDir & ctrl.Name & ".room", OpenMode.Input)
RoomName = LineInput(3)
RoomTag = LineInput(3)
RoomSize = LineInput(3)
RoomLeft = LineInput(3)
RoomTop = LineInput(3)
RoomWidth = LineInput(3)
RoomHeight = LineInput(3)
RoomImage = LineInput(3)
RoomText = LineInput(3)
FileClose(3)
FileOpen(3, MapDir & ctrl.Name & ".room", OpenMode.Output)
' name, tag, RoomSize, left, top, width, height, RoomImage, RoomText
' get room size
Select Case ctrl.Width
Case Is = GridSize
If ctrl.Height = GridSize Then
RoomSize = "small"
Else
RoomSize = "tall"
End If
Case Is = GridSize * 2
If ctrl.Height = GridSize Then
RoomSize = "wide"
Else
RoomSize = "large"
End If
End Select
Print(3, RoomName & vbNewLine & RoomTag & vbNewLine & RoomSize & vbNewLine & ctrl.Left & vbNewLine & ctrl.Top & _
vbNewLine & ctrl.Width & vbNewLine & ctrl.Height & vbNewLine & RoomImage & vbNewLine & RoomText)
FileClose(3)
End If
Next
' save MapFile
FileOpen(3, MapFile, OpenMode.Output)
Print(3, MapTemplate)
FileClose(3)
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("While SaveMap()..." & vbNewLine & ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
My thought was to use Do Until EOF(3) to read all the "RoomText" at the end of the file, but RoomText does not get printed to the file as written. Only the first paragraph.
The problem is that with "RoomText", only the first line of text is saved to the file. Anything after a 'return' in the TextBox is ignored, so I can only save one (the first) paragraph. The textbox is set to accept returns. I have tried this with a normal text box and a richtextbox. Other than using File.WriteAllText to a dedicated file for the text alone, I have not found a way to save the text, or read it back, as written to the Mapfile, with the other vars.
What am I missing? How do I save and recover the text as written in the textbox?

I may not know anything, but I know it well!
