Hello again mdavies23,

I recommend the closing of file handles because the output of you text might be still on the buffer. Read here why it is important to use close.

Maybe your code works straight out of the box with the close fh function I do not know yet. I will create an RTF document and I will start playing with it.

We are here to assist and guide. I hope you are not taking my suggestions in an insulting way. We all where beginners and we are still are in different areas. Just keep reading as much possible documentation provided here or on the network and you will learn really really fast.

Update: Sample of RTF file provided bellow. In case that someone wants to play with. The source of the code is The_RTF_Cookbook/SAMPLE COMPLETE RTF DOCUMENT.
