>>Hi,
>>
>>The code writes a long string (it could be up to 200 or more characters) into a .txt file. The string is written to the .txt file using strtofile() function. I would like the long string to be indented by, say 10 characters. I can indent the first line, by adding a space(10). But the rest of the string go to the 1st column,
>>Is there a way to do it, other than parsing the string into 60-70 characters and adding a space(10) before each line?

You could use ALINES(), but it requires some kind of separator to indicate the end of each "line."
