B4X:
File.WriteString(File.DirInternal, "String.txt", "This is some string" & CRLF & "and this is another one.")
B4X:
Msgbox(File.ReadString(File.Dirinternal, "String.txt"), "string.txt")

the above codes are succesful and I already view the data of string.txt using msgbox.
I tried to find string.txt at the internal storage using file manager but failed.
Where can I view the said file?

    'Main.Reader.Initialize(File.OpenInput(File.DirRootExternal, "customer.txt"))
    Main.Reader.Initialize(File.OpenInput(Main.folder, "customer.txt"))
    Dim linec As String
    Dim tmp2a() As String
    linec = Main.Reader.ReadLine
    arrsize1=0
    Do While linec <> Null
        tmp2a = Regex.Split("\,",linec)
        arrsize1=arrsize1+1
        For arr2 = 1 To 26+1
            If arr2=27 Then Exit
            customer(arrsize1, arr2) = tmp2a(arr2 - 1)        Next
        linec = Main.Reader.ReadLine
    Loop
    Main.Reader.Close
    sizecust = arrsize1

    Main.Reader.Initialize(File.OpenInput(Main.folder, "rate.txt"))

Why is it the last line has error rate.txt and customer.txt are located in same folder /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/b4a.mrs/files

Don't use TextReader at all. Use File.ReadLines instead.

Why is it the last line has error rate.txt and customer.txt are located in same folder /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/b4a.mrs/files
The file is not there. Maybe you named it Rate.txt or something similar. You can use File.Exists to check whether a file exists.
