 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

I am re writing my weather station code to use the flash file system instead of saving to the DS3231 flash I'm trying to open a directory and save some values, I have and I get Error : Entry is a dir I find it hard as I can't find any examples, what am I doing wrong?

Hi @palcal, You don't "open a directory", you open a file in a directory. Assuming the directory "A:/weather/" exists (if not then use MKDIR first) then: open "A:/weather/my_file.txt" for output as #1 Best wishes, Tom CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

With my new Win 11 machine none of the function keys work with Teraterm, GFXterm or MMEdit. the function key for screen brightness are OK. Edited 2023-01-24 13:15 by palcal "It is better to be ignorant and ask a stupid question than to be plain Stupid and not ask at all" |

On some keyboards the function keys are dual purpose and you may have to switch them to "function keys" This is very common on laptops and keyboards that are supplied by the big name manufacturers. VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |
