As I see it, the help doesn’t specifically say, at these functions, on which file types they work.
However, the FileWriteDouble has it specified

If successful the function returns the number of bytes written (in this case sizeof(double)=8). The file pointer is shifted by the same number of bytes.

meaning that they work on binary files. For text files, easiest is to write them converted to strings, then read the strings and convert them to double.

Ok, got it.
It is the way, just misplaced something.

Thanks for the site and article.
When I write a txt file using FileWriteDouble, and trying to read
it with FileReadDouble, should it be ok?
At present I open the file for FILE_READ|FILE_TXT and get a good handle.
but the FileReadDouble does not return any value.

Is that the way to do it?
