Title: Incorrect number of Parameters?
Post by: Hotshot on June 24, 2011

I am trying to get the tutorials done but I get the error saying
Incorrect number of Parameters! eh?

Code: [Select]

; Initialize the sprite and keyboard systems and a 640x480, 16-bit screen
If InitSprite() = 0 Or InitKeyboard() = 0 Or OpenScreen(640,480,16,"App Title") = 0
   MessageRequester("Error!", "Unable to Initialize Environment", #PB_MessageRequester_Ok)
   End
EndIf

; include our generic library
XIncludeFile "../libraries/generic.pb"

; create the file
Result = CreateFile(#PB_Any,"filetest.txt")

If Result = 0
   MessageRequester("Error!", "Unable to Create File", #PB_MessageRequester_Ok)
   End
EndIf

; write our strings out to the file
WriteStringN("Hello, PureBasic!")                  ; <<  Why Errors?
WriteStringN("Testing...testing...1...2...3!")   ; <<  Why Errors?

; close the file
CloseFile(Result)

; put up a little message to the user that we're done
If StartDrawing(ScreenOutput())   
  DrawText(0,0,"File created and written to.  Press any key to exit")
Else
   MessageRequester("Error!", "Unable to Draw to ScreenOutput()", #PB_MessageRequester_Ok)
   End
EndIf

StopDrawing()

; show the output to the users
FlipBuffers()

; wait for a keypress
WaitKey ()

; end the program
End

Mate the helpfile is your friend. Use it. ;)

Syntax:

WriteStringN(#File, Text$ [, Flags])

so:

Code: [Select]

WriteStringN(Result,"Hello, PureBasic!")
should do the trick.
