Title: [B2D] Streaming Blues
Post by: Clyde on May 14, 2009

Dear fellow friends,

I always get into trouble with trying to use I/O streams; mostly as I don't use them on a day to day basis, so the grey matter forgets.

Whats supposed to happen is per line 8 entry's, and 12 lines. However thats not the case with the code below. :(

Code: [Select]

Const AmountX=8
Const AmountY=12

Global TotalInfo=(AmountX*AmountY)

Dim Info( TotalInfo )

For a=0 To TotalInfo-1
    Info(a)=Rand(0,12288)
Next

SaveInfo( "BuddiesGirl", ".bas" )

Function SaveInfo( SaveFile$, Extension$=".txt" )
   

    FileOut=WriteFile( SaveFile$+Extension$ )

    ;
    ; sort out file values
    ;
    For Index = 0 To TotalInfo-1
       
;
; Have we reached the very Last entry?
;
        If Index = TotalInfo-1 Then
        WriteLine Fileout, Str( Info(Index))+" }"
Else
           
If LineCount < AmountPerLine Then
  ;
; Carry on as usual with adding a comma between data.
;
WriteLine FileOut, Str(Info( Index ))+","
Else
          ;
; Cool, I see we have reached the end of the current line, signified by adding ,_
;
WriteLine FileOut, Str(Info( Index ))+",_"
LineCount = 0
            End If
        End If
       
LineCount = LineCount + 1

Next

CloseFile FileOut

End Function

Thanks in advance,
Mike F.

Many thanks Zawran.

One small thing though, the first line of the data is 8 which is how it should be, but from then on it's in series of 7, until the last line which has a lone some figure.
