i have a text file with the contents

"hello there"

I want to get that as a variable, that i can then write BACK to a different text file as "hello there" without the "\"

so, how do i read a file, and get just the text "hello there" with hypenation.

thanks Martin,

although my problem is that the text is being read this way.. as in

"hello there" becomes \"hello there\"

so essentially my problem is when it reads... not writes..

I don't understand your problem :-(

Using 'quoted form of' means that you get both a dialogue box that says
"hello there" and a text file which matches identically: "hello there"

<scratches head> I thought that that was what you wanted?
