How is this done again?

[Sophtware]

I am trying to save a .txt file into a different file extension..but when i try to save it like this

First.asm


It actually saves like this

First.asm.txt

I am using the .asm extension as an example, It's not Necessary to have that same type of extension i just want to know how.


Thanks.

Are you using Notepad? In the save dialog box, choose 'All files' instead of '.txt files'. (in the combobox at the bottom) I hope you know what I mean.

Sounds like you've got 'hide file extensions for known file types' highlighted in the Windows options. Open 'My Computer' and go to the 'View' menu, then click on 'Folder Options'. Click the 'View' tab and you should see a checkbox in the list labelled 'hide file extensions for known file types'. So err...click it

When you're saving your file inclose it withing double quotes like this: "MyFile.asm"

Thanks guys for all your help...

I used to know how to do this but i took it for granted and, well yeah i forgot...so thanks

I do it the way Serge said. You don't even have to touch the "Save as type:" selection that way.
