in reply to Formatting text output

I am wanting the Location text when ouputted to the text file to be in bold

Should I fax you though an answer on green paper?

A text file contains text. Text is just characters. Bold is formatting. Text files can contain formatting instructions but these are just stored as text characters as well. In what viewing device do you wish the text to appear bold? Your text file might contain stuff like:

#In HTML you would do: <b>Location</b> #In Latex you would do: \textbf{Location} #In an ANSI terminal you need: \e[1mLocation\e[0m #In M$ RTF it is: \b Location\b0 # getting bored now.

    Or, in another well known format, just

    B<Location>

    :-))
