Hi all !

I didn't found how to add a line jump in a remote text file.

When I use Basefile* WriteString() I result with a strange caracter in front of the string and I don't know how to add a line jump... Is it a special character to insert with WriteChar() ?

Any hint ?

Mike

AIUI WriteString() doesn't write a simple C character array as you might expect. It writes a C4D String object which obviously contains the text but also the other data which make it a String object. That's the odd stuff you see before the text.

If you want to write a plain text file, you need to write your own routine to do this. This has been discussed a few times here and if you search the forum you'll find a routine by Matthias (IIRC) that does the trick very well. Others have posted similar routines.

Something like this should do the trick:

  
Bool WriteString(const String &line, BaseFile* file)  
{  
  if(!file) return FALSE;  
  
  CHAR *charline = NULL;  
  LONG strlength = line.GetCStringLen(STRINGENCODING_7BITHEX);  
  charline = GeAllocType(CHAR, strlength+1);  
  
  if(!charline) return FALSE;  
  
  strlength = line.GetCString(charline, strlength+1, STRINGENCODING_7BITHEX);  
  
  LONG i;  
  for(i=0; i<strlength; i++)  
  {  
      if(!file->WriteChar(charline[i])) return FALSE;  
  }  
  
  GeFree(charline);  
  
  return TRUE;  
}

cheers,
Matthias
