Here's a "pure NewEra" way: INCLUDE SYSTEM "ix4gl.4gh" INCLUDE SYSTEM "ixtext.4gh" INCLUDE SYSTEM "ixfile.4gh" MAIN VARIABLE theText ixText VARIABLE theFile ixFile DISPLAY "ixText autoexec.bat" LET theText = NEW ixText( locType: ixBlob::locInFile, file: "C:\\\\autoexec.bat" ) DISPLAY "ixFile autonew.out" LET theFile = NEW ixFile( fileName: "C:\\\\autonew.out", openMode: ixFile::create + ixFile::readWrite ) DISPLAY "ixFile::writeBlob" CALL theFile.writeBlob( blb: theText ) DISPLAY "ixFile::flush" CALL theFile.flush( ) DISPLAY "Done" RETURN END MAIN This of course could be incorporated into you own home-grown class derived from ixFile. -- //////////////// ======================================================= ////////// // Dennis J.
