Dumb String Question

[Bandersnatch]

Hi there,

I'm a bit of a newbie to the SlickEdit thing, and I'm looking for a function that saves a string in a specified file.  I've been able to easily open a file and place the contents into a string using GetFileContents, but I can't seem to find the reverse.

Something along the lines of Put(_str filename, _str text), maybe?  Or should I be doing this a different way?

You can use sth. like that to (invisibly) manipulate a buffer and finally save / discard it.

Code: [Select]

...
   _str text2save = "Hello Bandersnatch";
   _str fname = "Bandersnatch.txt";

   int temp_view_id=0;
   int orig_view_id=_create_temp_view(temp_view_id);

    // do sth. more useful ;)
    bottom_of_buffer ();
   _insert_text ( text2save );

   // save it if you want
   save_as ( get_env ("TEMP") "\\" fname)

   _delete_temp_view(temp_view_id);
   activate_window(orig_view_id);
...

Have fun,

Works Beautifully.
