It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 22576
interpreted = N
texte = Not sure if anyone considered this before. This would only work on the pc side. If you just want to print text results (non html stuff), then you could just writefile or append file the information, then issue a command to run a batchfile or just plain print:[dos]print [myfile][/dos]or if you have a bunch you could make a batch file something like: rem----BEGIN PRINT BATCH FILE---- print %1 print %2 rem -- etc.... rem ---END PRINT BATCH FILE----where the %X represnets the argument number. If this file was called printall.bat and you wanted to print file1 and file2, yo ucould say[dos]printall file1 file2[/dos]Again, I apologize if this was already a solution posted, but if not, it may solve some of your problems. Without the ability to make Windows funciton calls themselves, you wouldn't be able to call a print command within a windows application, but this could work for nicely formatted text files.Comments? -howard Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
