[Gambas-user] how to start a file?

[Jussi Lahtinen]

I'm not sure what you mean, but this code creates file.

Dim hFile as File
Dim sString as String = "Something to write."

hFile = Open "testfile.txt" For Create
Write #hFile, sString
Close #hFile

More from here:

Or if you mean how to attach files to your project.
For example; right mouse click on Data folder --> New --> Other...
then just choose
what ever you need.
