texte = Hello, I need to total a list of numbers read from a database. I think that I'm having a problem using [writefile] and [include] tags 1) After a [search] and [founditems] I get the value in DURATION which is in %H:%M format, so I convert it to seconds.... [text]var1=[math]{[DURATION]}[/math][/text] 2) then I add the new value, var1 to the amount read from the file named: atextfile.inc (which is 0 the first time through) [text][math]var2=[include file=atextfile.inc]+[var1][/math][/text] 3) then I write var2 back to the same text file: atextfile.inc [writeFile atextfile.inc][var2][/writeFile] I end with [/founditems], so that it will go back and find the next value in DURATION each time it executes step 2, the number from the include file command is reset to zero. I can't seem to get it to write a value, then read it back to add it each time. Where is my error?
