WriteLine

Top Previous Next

The WriteLine function writes an optional list of string expressions to a file that was previously opened with OpenWrite and writes the Windows end-of-line character sequence after all the expressions.

If no expressions are supplied then WriteLine just writes the end-of-line character sequence. For Windows, the end-of-line sequence is ASCII character 10 for Line Feed. Windows text file editors like NotePad will interpret this sequence as the start of a new line. If more than one parameter is passed, they are separated by commas for ease of using CSV format in excel.

Syntax

fileManager.WriteLine( fileNumber, [ expression , expressionTwo ... ] )

Parameters

file number		file number if more than one file has been opened.
expression		the first string expression to write (optional)
expressionTwo		the second string expression to write (optional)
etc.

returns		nothing

Example

VARIABLES: lineString TYPE: String

VARIABLES: fileNumber TYPE: Integer

' Open the file.

fileNumber = fileManager.OpenWrite( "C:\FileToOpen.txt" )

IF fileNumber > 0 THEN

' Construct the line.

lineString = instrument.symbol + "," + instrument.close

' Write out the line to the current file.

fileManager.WriteLine( fileNumber, lineString )

' Another format for the above.

fileManager.WriteLine( fileNumber, instrument.symbol, instrument.close )

' Close the file.

fileManager.Close( fileNumber )
