File_WriteBlock()

Parent Previous Next

Syntax

File_WriteBlock(ByRef pBufferAddr As Dword, pLength As Word), Word

Parameters

pBufferAddr — source string buffer array — a string variable is required here, since ByRef passes its address automatically

pLength       — number of bytes to write


Return value — number of bytes actually written (less than pLength if disk fills up)


Writes block data to file from a string array


Writes pLength bytes from a string buffer array pBufferAddr to the currently open file with File_Append()

Example

    Dim sTemp As String * 40                'Create string array variable

    sTemp = "Test string"                   'Place some text in this string variable

    File_Append("temp.txt")                 'Open file "temp.txt" ready to append data

    File_WriteBlock(sTemp, 8)               'Write block of data with length 8 into "temp.txt" from sTemp

    File_Close()                            'Close file
