Returns
Category File
Syntax Writefile(<expC1|expN>,<expC2>)
Description Writes line(s) of text with CR LF to
a file referenced either as a file handle
<expN> or a filename <expC1>. Writes either
a single line contained in <expC2> or all
of the contents of a character array named
as <expC2> to the file.
Examples
1. WRITEFILE('ERROR.TXT','THERE WAS AN ERROR')
2. declare errors[3]
errors[1] = 'There was an error'
errors[2] = 'Error # 61765 '
errors[3] = dtoc(date)
writefile('ERROR.TXT','ERRORS')
3. handle = fopen("error.txt",1)
declare errors[3]
errors[1] = 'There was an error'
errors[2] = 'Error # 61765 '
errors[3] = dtoc(date())
writefile(handle,'ERRORS')
Notes IF A FILENAME IS PASSED, THE FILE IS OPENED AND
CLOSED BY THE FUNCTION.
IF A FILE HANDLE IS PASSED, THE FILE IS LEFT OPEN.
IF A CHARACTER ARRAY IS PASSED, EACH ELEMENT IS
WRITTEN TO A SEPERATE LINE IN THE FILE.
DO NOT PASS AN ARRAY - PASS AN ARRAY NAME IN QUOTES
IF THE FILE DOES NOT EXIST, IT IS CREATED.
