texte = Ok here's a good one,Here is what I want this to do:1) Pull a number from a db. 2) Increment that number by 3. 3) Save that number back to the file, so that next time I call the number it is different.[replace db=customernum.txt&eqskudatarq=fred]customernum=[mycustomernum][/replace][commitdatabase customernum.txt]Here is what I see on screen:1) customerum gets pulled from db. 2) mycustomernum increments by 3. 3) When I open the file to check to see if it has been updated, nothing has changed.If I add WebDNA to track the progression of this code everything works fine on screen. Every time I reload the page customernum increments by 3. It just never writes the new number back to the file.I know that I don't need the [commitdatabase customernum.txt], but I threw that in to force WebCat to write the file, with no sucess.Any ideas?
