How to use file_num = open ( "file", "mode" )

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message 

I'm fairly new to programming, and would appreciate someone's advice on how
to write code to achieve this:
1   ask the user to:
    a)   nominate the drive on which to create a file - eg "C"
    b)   name the file to be created - eg "entries.dat"
2   create and open that file - "c:\entries.dat" - for output

I'm able to use....

     file_num = open ( "c:\\entries.dat", "w" )

               .... but only if I specify the details myself!

Thank you

Alex Caracatsanis
