I use WRITE a lot and was confused at the beginning. There are two different methods...
WRITE #hfile, "Stuff" 'This writes 7 bytes to file <2 Byte length> + 'Stuff' WRITE #hfile, "Stuff",5 'This writes 5 bytes to file 'Stuff' with nothing extra. If you do not have the length, then the 2 byte is always prefixed indicating the actual length written. -Fernando ---------- Original Message ----------- From: Rob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Tue, 26 Aug 2008 08:48:38 -0400 Subject: Re: [Gambas-user] text files > On Tuesday 26 August 2008 07:17, Mike wrote: > > How do I save a text file without extra chars at the start of the file. > > If I save with the following code there is one extra char added to the > > start of the file. > > WRITE #hfile, "Stuff" > > If I use a very long string I get two chars added at the start of the file. > > "WRITE" writes its arguments in binary format, which includes the length of > the string in this case.
