TextFile - trying to write out listbox contents and getting <CR> after each line?

[rball]

Each time an item is added to the listbox it gets recorded in a file. The problem is each line written is not one long string but a number of lines which include carriage returns. Is there any way round this or do I just stripe them off each time I read the file back.

Read File, push contents i.e. Txt:ata;;Txt2:ata2 into listbox. Update record and write back.

This gives me <CR><LF> for each listbox item.

Instead of adding each item to a text file as its added to the listbox.

Add the item to the listbox, then do a
%ItemText% = ListBoxObject[ListBox1].GetItemText (All)

Then write the contents of %ItemText% out to the file overwriting the existing text file.

You should then have the contents of listbox in the text file delimited with a ;; or whatever you choose.

I think I've sussed it.

It was because I was trying to read the Itemdata from a multiple select and getting an error idex malformed.

You can read ItemText from a multiple select but not Itemdata.

What I've had to do is a while loop, decrementing the item count variable, and read the Itemdata in one at a time using gettemdata.

Is there a better way?
