Working in text based RobotC

Hello,

I tried to find an existing thread for this, no luck.

I can save/open files in graphical, but when I want to use text based, I cannot save/re-open the file. I have been copying the text out and saving it with Notepad, restoring the same way.

How do I natively save/restore c text in RobotC ?

thanks,
Nand

To confirm, the Graphical files (.rbg extension) are being saved and reopened properly, but the text-based ROBOTC files (.c extension) are not? Are there any error messages that appear when you attempt to save a text-based file, and does a new .c file get generated and saved when you attempt to save a program?

Also, where are the programs being saved to? Try saving the files to a different location (such as My Documents or the Desktop) to see if this changes the behavior of the save/open functionality.

Hi John,

Yes, you are correct.

So meanwhile, problem solved - there were other RobotC app icons that were created (I did an update to 4.3) and one of them opens in C mode and can open/save .c files. The first one I had will only operate in graphical mode.

Must be command line switches when it launches.
