[Gambas-user] Weird Characters in output files. ^X ^Q ^T etc.

[Robert Moss]

Hi, Sorry to bug you again, once I get this down i'll be able to help you
tackle this mailing list ^_^
I open up a stream like so:

Dim fh as File
dim myObj as MyObject

fh = Open FileName as OUTPUT CREATE

for each myObj in MyGroup
  WRITE #fh, myObj.Name & ":" & str(myObj.Count) & ":" & str(myObj.MaxSize)
NEXT

Close #fh

and the resulting file ( via less file.txt) is:

^Uobjectname:4:10^Sobj2name:5:5^xlastobj:2:10

now, i can understand if i have to append a \n to these, but what is with
these "Special" characters preceeding my strings?
