Quotation marks in createFile text (Maxscript)

Anonymous — Tue, 25 Apr 2017 15:08:19 GMT

Hi,

I want to read and then write some text.

First, I read a text file like :

text text text text text

text text text text text text

text text text

...

and I put it into a variable (Tvar) like that :

global Tvar #()
myFile = openFile @...
while not eof myFile do
(
	TvarL= readLine myFile
	append Tvar TvarL
)
close myFile

After I write in the same file (after some modifications) :

myFile = createFile @....
print Tvar to:myFile
close myFile

When I open this file, I get :

"text text text text text"

"text text text text text text"

"text text text"

I don't want to get quotation marks. How can I do ?

Hi there, try using format instead of print to write your value out. EG:

myFile2 = openFile @"test_text2.txt" mode:"w"
for tv in Tvar do (
	format "%\n" tv to: myFile2	
)

close myFile2
