ofFile : .TXT not being recorded (help!)

you can open the file in setup and then write to it on every update like:

//.h
ofFile myTextFile;

//setup
myTextFile.open("text.txt",ofFile::WriteOnly);

//update
myTextFile << "some text"

if you need to open a file to append to it instead of overwrite it's contents then you can do:

ofFile myTextFile("test.txt",ofFile::Append);
myTextFile << “my text comes here”+”\n”;
