I simply just want to write a load of strings to a file and then read them back.

That's how I've always done my data files; I value easy human editability over compactness. :)

I just tested this, and the exact same approach I used in B3D works just fine in BlitzMax:

OutFile = WriteFile( "MyTest.txt" )
WriteLine OutFile, "Test string 1."
WriteLine OutFile, "And another one."
CloseFile OutFile

InFile = ReadFile( "MyTest.txt" )
While Not Eof( InFile )
	a$ = ReadLine( InFile )
	Print a$
Wend

Or are you needing something more advanced?
