Hello, forum!
I'm really sorry for asking this basic question, but I really can't find a solution:

I have this code:
Code:

Gui, Font, S11 CDefault, Verdana
Gui, Add, Text,, How many boxes for this shipment?
Gui, Add, Edit, vBoxes, 1 ; Input the number of boxes
Gui, Add, ComboBox, vTipo , Door-to-Station||Door-to-Door ; service type
Gui, Add, Button, default, OK
Gui, Show, , Shipments
return

ButtonOK:
Gui, Submit,
Loop %Boxes%
{

Gui, 2: Add, edit,  vpack%A_index% ; creates as many edit boxes as you specified
}
Gui, 2: Add, Button, default, OK
Gui 2: Show, , Boxes (Weight in Pounds)
Return

2ButtonOK:
Gui, Submit,

GuiClose:
ExitApp

Now what i'd like to do is to take all the values of the boxes in the second Gui and append them to a text file -- from pack1 to pack3, or 4 or however many -- each in a different line
From then on, I think I can figure out.

it's not that different with ButtonOK:

Code:
2ButtonOK:
Gui, Submit,
Loop, %Boxes%
    MsgBox % pack%A_Index%
Return

Thanks for your help, but my problem is that this syntax doesn't work with FileAppend Confused

Code:
FileAppend, pack%A_Index%, results.txt


Would give me pack1, pack2, pack2..., instead of the values like 5, 10, 12, etc.

I may be wrong but it looks like your context is wrong if your FileAppend command. I think you need % pack%%A_Index% and that will only work if FileAppend is in the Loop because A_Index will only change if that is true.

The way your context is would result in your file saying something like "pack1pack2pack3etc...." because it is reading pack as a literal string so you need the % pack%%A_Index% as the guest showed in his code. Then it will write the actual contents of the variables %pack1% etc.

Note: Also if you want a , after each number I think you would need to use something like this or use a different delimiter:
Code:
FileAppend, % pack%%A_Index%`,, Results.txt

Should be
Code:
FileAppend, % pack%A_Index% "`," , Results.txt


You had too many % signs, plus a literal string ( `, ) in an expression without double quotes.
