Sure, and Fabien has already given the example, so I quote him here. 
Copying his mail, I find something interesting he mentioned right at the 
beginning. I've never used that stuff, so just give it a try :-) Here is 
what he wrote:


have you tryed to replace result by a global string variable  ?

textbox use utf8 charset

and yes in your case ... use file.save


to resume your code

Private $sResult as string

PUBLIC SUB Button1_Click()

   $sResult = File.Load("/home/neilwin/basic/trial.txt")

END

PUBLIC SUB Button3_Click()

   File.Save("/home/neilwin/basic/trial.txt", $sResult)

END
