Yes, I did read that but I want to make some changes to the line of code before saving it back to disk so I thought the best way was to use a text box.

Anyway, further research on the Internet and I found a way of doing it. Here is the code I put on a new button for saving the changed line.(Result is the name of the text box).

PUBLIC SUB Button4_Click()

  DIM lines AS String
  DIM dest AS String
  lines = result.Text
  dest = "/home/neilwin/basic/trial.txt"
  File.Save(dest, lines)
  

END

And that has worked just fine.
