Hello, I am trying to write an integer to a file, but when I open the
file it writes the char the number represents in ascii.

does anyone have a suggestion?

Post your code, people can then suggest changes.  Also, some things to  
consider:
  - Are you opening the file in ascii or binary mode?
  - Are you calling a function which writes an integer?

It sounds, from your description, that you're writing an integer 'as a  
char/byte' which probably means you've called the wrong function.

this is part of the code:

void WritePushPop(cmd command, string segment, int index)
		{
                        string temp = "TextFile.Asm";
			AsmFile = new File(temp, FileMode.OutNew );

		        string x = toString(index);

AsmFile.writeString(" ");

AsmFile.write(index);

AsmFile.writeLine("D=A");

AsmFile.writeLine(" 0");

AsmFile.writeLine("A=M");

AsmFile.writeLine("M=D");

AsmFile.writeLine("D=A+1");

AsmFile.writeLine(" 0");

AsmFile.writeLine("M=D");


}

Now it wouldn't even build, it doesn't like the line: string x =
toString(index);
but this line works when I'm working with the console.


Thanks!

Posting the whole code (or even better, a minimal, complete program that shows
the 
problem) helps a lot.

 void WritePushPop(cmd command, string segment, int index)
 		{
                          string temp = "TextFile.Asm";
 			AsmFile = new File(temp, FileMode.OutNew );

 		        string x = toString(index);

 AsmFile.writeString(" ");

 AsmFile.write(index);

File.write writes a binary representation of its argument.  To write a textual 
representation, use writef or writefln.

What's the error message?
