Hi to all,

Could you have a look at this code below and tell me what's wrong with it. I'm not supposed to open the file first with URL, right ?
So, after debugging I can say that the var <lesPreferences > is not empty. It's a list with one parameter by line;
The global var <gLePathPreferences> is correct and gives the full path;
The file "preferences.txt" already exist;
The <into> word is supposed to replace the old data by the news...
I've been following lessons and the dictionnary and I don't understang where is the mistake...

Thanks in advance, Jean-Paul.

Best

Yes, that will make the difference between a VARIABLE and a STRING!
