Hey guys, so I found this code on the web. I tried to run it and it works. The only thing is when I restart the program, all the supposed added/deleted were not save. I have heard that you should use File Function but I'm not sure how to edit/delete word from file. Any help will be appreciated.P.S This code does not belong to me
