Writing to .txt file problem

I have an agent which collects file numbers and drops them into a text file for use with another reporting system. I use:

fileNum% = Freefile()

fileName$ = "m:\WinFOCUS\" & filename & ".txt"



Open fileName$ For Output As fileNum%

Write #fileNum%, string

Where string is the contents of the .txt file. All works well save for one small thing. The .txt file has quotes around it, such as:

"111111 OR

2222222 OR

4444444 OR

5555555 OR

6666666 OR

7777777 OR

8888888 OR

9999999 OR

111111111 OR

121212121 OR

1313131313 OR

1414141414 OR

1515151515"

The reporting job that’s using this file will not work with the quotes. I can’t extract the quotes from the string using right, left, replace, etc., because the quotes aren’t there until the text file is written. Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks…as soon as I posted my problem I tried searching the forum using other keywords and found the print solution. Works perfect. But thanks again!
