So Sorry. "Desktop file" = ordinary file? 1. Write data: (defun write-string-to-file (str file) "Write STR to FILE. FILE is created if it doesn't exist, otherwise it is overwritten." (interactive "sstring: \nFfile: ") (with-temp-file file (insert str "\n") )) 2. Restore data: (defun file-to-string (file) "Put the contents of FILE into a string and return it." (interactive "Ffile: ") (with-temp-buffer (insert-file-contents file) (buffer-string) )) -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
