| also how do you do the code area (black background with green text)? |

To the text in a text area to a file, try this. It will overwrite any current data:
file=Writefile("textarea.txt") ;Make new file
WriteLine(file,TextAreaText$(textarea)) ;Write text into file
CloseFile(file) ;Close file
Or to append then text to a file with data inside it:
file=Openfile("textarea.txt") ;Open file
Seekfile(file,FileSize(file)) ;Gets to the end of file
WriteLine$(file,TextAreaText$(textarea)) ;Write text
Closefile(file) ;Close file
Look in the command reference for the commands used to format a textarea with color and stuff. Theres 3 or 4 of them. Hope it helps! |
