[2005]RTB Save Plain Text

[Vaughands]

So, here's my predicment I've tried for a while. No dice. I'm trying to save a file in a RTB, now I've always used:

My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText("C:\Test.txt", "Text", True)

The sample inside the snippets section. It always worked for normal textboxes, but I moved onto now use a RTB to highlight syntax and now I'm having problems, the files now saving line breaks as weird symbols. Any ideas?

The RichTextBox control has its own methods to save its contents. By default it will save RTF but you can specify plain text if you want. That said, if you save plain text then you'll lose all your markup. If that's not what you want then save as RTF.

Err I should have been more specfic, using SaveFile,PlainText or whatever it is, it still leavs these annyoing little squares wherever a line break should be!
When opened in Notepad that is,

What jmc was suggesting in code form:

RichTextBox1.SaveFile(IO.File.CreateText("C:\test.txt").BaseStream, RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText)
