what do you mean with formated ?

You can simply create a .txt file with WriteFile and WirteLine commands !

In txt files it is not possible to set color or font ! It's just plain text.

@klaar with formatted i guess he mean what the txtfile headers are. Every file has a header that identifies certain aspects of that file. Wotsit is a great resource for this....

hope it helps

okay, but i think txt files got no headers .. well if i open them in a hexeditor there is just plain text.

I guess he means something from here:

@Klaas yes but the issue @ hand is formatted txt....

Thanks all, by formatted i mean saving a file with tabs in.

Tab$ = Chr$(9)
stream = WriteFile("C:\Formatted.txt")
WriteLine(stream,Tab$+"This")
WriteLine(stream,Tab$+Tab$+"Works")
WriteLine(stream,Tab$+Tab$+Tab$+"Fine!")
CloseFile(stream)
