FileDelete($filename)
$cnt = 0

print("Writing line $cnt or $max")
FileWrite($filename, "Time: $time")
FileWrite($filename, ", Left Servo: GetServo(d3)")
FileWriteLine($filename, ", Right Servo: GetServo(d4)")
$cnt = $cnt + 1
if ($cnt = $max)
halt()
sleep(1000)
goto(START)
File Read Example
$filename = "c:\temp\myfile.txt"
if (FileExists($filename) = false)
print("File does not exist")

print("File does not exist")
Halt()
Endif
FileReadReset($filename)
$cnt = 1
:START
$txt = FileReadLine($filename)
$DateField = Split($txt, ",", 0)
$LeftArmField = Split($txt, ",", 1)
$RightArmField = Split($txt, ",", 2)
print("Row: $cnt")
print("Date: $DateField")
print("Left Arm: $LeftArmField")
print("Right Arm: $RightArmField")
