The file is there!!

How do you know it is there? That is, how are you seeing it?

My guess is that you are seeing it in the Windows Explorer. And that you have the Explorer option "Hide file extensions" enabled. And that the file is actually named 'Hello1.plx.txt'.

To be sure, use the dir command.

    Whether that's actually the case or not... this response makes me believe you've possibly worked in tech support at some point in time. Entirely off-the-wall and entirely plausible/likely all in one.

      Formally, no. But looking back it seems that I've somehow informally fallen into that role, for those around me, almost everywhere I've worked.

      My favorite 'tech support' story: Re: Lost in the Translation

      FWIW: I think that the 'secret ingredient' between a good programmer and a great one, is intuition.

      (That doesn't mean I think I am a great programmer, my intuition is far too sporadic.)
