[Gambas-user] Output to Libre Office Writer ??

[rocko]

Thanks for the input :)
But I'm getting an error now:
'_/Type mismatch expected file got string instead/_'

/newFile is AS String /so I don't know why I would get this error.

Full Code:
' Gambas module file

Public nFile As File
Public fName As String
Public xName As String

Public Sub Main()
Dim mName As String
Dim newFile As File

mName = "Rocko"
fName = "/home/rocko/Documents/Proposal.odt"
xName = "/home/rocko/Zip/content.xml"

If Exist(fName) Then /'test if file exists using th testFile function/
   testFile()
   Print "File found"
   Shell "unzip " & fname & " -d /home/rocko/Zip" Wait /'open a shell 
window and unzip the file/

   newFile = Replace(File.Load(xName), "$(Name)", mName)
   File.Save(xName, newFile)
   Shell "cd /home/rocko/Zip;zip -r  Proposal.odt ." Wait /'re-zip the file/

  Else
     Print "File not found"
     Print nFile
     Print fName
     Shell "ls"


Endif
End

Sub testFile() /' function for opening file for read and write/
nFile = Open fName For Read Write
End
