Alright, I'm trying to save a real value to a file but I keep getting errors.

Here's my codes:

Create Event
[codebox]global.write = file_text_open_write("Value")
val = get_integer("Type a Number",0)[/codebox]

Key Pressed F1 Event
[codebox]global.write = file_text_open_write("Value")
file_text_write_real(global.write,val)
file_find_close()[/codebox]

Can anybody explain to me why this isn't working?

You need to add .txt to "Value". So it would be:

global.write = file_text_open_write("Value.txt");
val = get_integer("Type a Number", 0);

Alright, now the error message is gone but it still won't write the value to the text document

@Kirbya, you do not need to add .txt to the file name. file_text_open_read() treats any file as a text file when opening it, but that does not mean it has to have that extension.

Take out the file_text_open_write() in the F1 event.
file_find_close() is not a function.

Well, I took out the file_text_open_write() in the F1 event and got the same result.

Let's start over. This script will do everything:

var value, file;

value = get_integer("Enter the number to write:",0);

file = file_text_open_write("Value");

file_text_write_real(file, value);

file_text_close(file);
