Hi,
i am having difficulty understanding how to do the following:

I read the contents of the editor gadget into a string-
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3

Write the string to a text file. the contents of the file look as above when viewed in notepad.

Read the string from the file into a string and put back into the Editor Gadget. However i only see-
Line 1

I have tried using replacestring to replace the linefeed with a ~

Looking at the written file in notepad it looks like this-
Line 1~Line 2~Line 3

But when read back into the Editor Gadget i see -
Line 1~

Can someone give me a clue how to save the text to a file and read it back in as is.

Thanks

Could you post some code?
My guess is, that you only use ReadString() once to load the filecontents into the gadget.
You have read every line, until EOF()=1
Or try ReadData() and PeekS().
