very odd problem with file print

[Pouncer]

In a module I have

Global fileff As Integer

In Form1 on form_load I have

fileff = FreeFile
    Open "C:blah.txt" For Append As #fileff

Then in module1, when i do something like

Print #fileff, "hello"
Print #fileff, "there"

it appears in the file as:
hello
there

shouldn't it be: hellothere (this is how i want it)

Ever time you use the Print#....
It'll create a new line.

You would need to say

Print #fileff, "hello" & "there"
Or
Print #fileff, "hellothere"

Hope that helps

Another way to do this is as follows:
Print #fileff, "hello"; ' Note the semi-colon which supresses the CRLF at line end
Print #fileff, "there"

but i want everything to appear on 1 line so if i do

Print #fileff, "HelloThere"

Print #fileff, "some more!!"

etc etc..

the file would be like this:

HelloTheresome more!!
is this not possible?

No, I think it is the same as with printing to the form. Every time you write print it will make a new line, if you add ; it should print to the same line. Alternatively you could print "hello" & "there", but I have a feeling you are in a loop with variables to print so that might not be the best solution. So all in all, I believe (don't have vb6 here at the moment" that if you write

Print #ffile; "Hello";
Print #ffile; "There"

It should work.

Edit: wow in the time it took to write that there was a lot of posts...

ahhhh, sigid, awesome!!

thats exactly what I needed!!!

Thanks mate

Edit* and John hehe i cant believe the ';' makes such a big diff for me!

Of course:
Print #fileff, "HelloThere"; ' Again, the semi colon is important!
Print #fileff, "some more!!"

will result in the file containing "HelloTheresome more!!"
