file i/o

[Uberbots]

You should be able to open files inside of a while loop, and it is normal that the fileref is increasing but...

it sounds like what you really want to do is select a file, which you can easily do from a case structure. im not sure i understand why you need a loop to do this? are you loading many file's contents into an array?

To avoid as many changes to your tele, I'd build the array in the tele -- either keep all drive values, or encode them as dT and dDrive. After tele is over, save it to a file by opening writing, and closing. You may also be able to use the Write to binary file and a Close, but I'm not sure if RT will raise the file dialog correctly. You should be able to do file I/O at a pretty good clip, so if you'd rather do it in the loop, go ahead, but don't open and close it for each element you write, or the overhead will cause changes to how your program behaves.
