FileWrite how to write a big text like this:

$file = FileOpen("test.txt", 1)

; Check if file opened for writing OK
If $file = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf

FileWrite($file, [
test1
test3
hi
yo man
Line1])

FileClose($file)

file results must be:

test1

test3

hi

yo man

Line1

But how do i make this happen ?

Merchants,

You use the concatenation operator & to make a single string: ;)

FileWrite($file, "test1" & @CRLF & "test3" & @CRLF & "hi" & @CRLF & "yo man" & @CRLF & "Line1")

Just like it shows in the example in the Help file. :)

Hello Merchants,

Try This:

$file = FileOpen("test.txt", 1)

; Check if file opened for writing OK
If $file = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf

FileWrite($file, "test1" & @CRLF _
    & "test3" & @CRLF _
    & "hi" & @CRLF _
    & "yo man" & @CRLF _
    & "Line1")

FileClose($file)

well it is a VERY long text to make that happen is it not poseble what i say in post 1?

Melba's Example will do what you ask Merchant, as will mine, our examples are different but will produce the same results, it all depends on how you want your code to look.

Merchants.

well it is a VERY long text

Then break it up into smaller chunks and add the parts together using &= like this: ;)

$sText = "test1" & @CRLF
$sText &= "test3" & @CRLF
$sText &= "hi" & @CRLF
$sText &= "yo man" & @CRLF
$sText &= "Line1"

FileWrite($file, $sText)

Is that better? :)

well that is still very long work

i need to write a smal text like this

function myReadLine(filename, linenumber)
{
    var _tmpfile;
    var _line;

    _tmpfile = FileOpen(filename, 0);

    if(_tmpfile)
    {
        var _linenumber = 0;
        while(!_tmpfile.eof)
        {
            _line = _tmpfile.ReadLine();
            if(_line)
            {
                _linenumber = _linenumber + 1;
                if (_linenumber == linenumber)
                {
                    _tmpfile.Close();
                    return _line;
                }
            }
        }
        _tmpfile.Close();
    }

    return ""; // empty string if can't read file, or can't find the line wanted.
}
to set all the @CRLF is very long work if this was a smal text then i was not here..

i need to write it whiteout the CRLF

i hope that that is poseble..

if i just paste it like this

$file = FileOpen("test.txt", 1)

; Check if file opened for writing OK
If $file = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf

FileWrite($file, [
function myReadLine(filename, linenumber)
{
    var _tmpfile;
    var _line;

    _tmpfile = FileOpen(filename, 0);

    if(_tmpfile)
    {
        var _linenumber = 0;
        while(!_tmpfile.eof)
        {
            _line = _tmpfile.ReadLine();
            if(_line)
            {
                _linenumber = _linenumber + 1;
                if (_linenumber == linenumber)
                {
                    _tmpfile.Close();
                    return _line;
                }
            }
        }
        _tmpfile.Close();
    }

    return ""; // empty string if can't read file, or can't find the line wanted.
}])

FileClose($file)

then the file results must be like this whit the spaces and enters and taps:

function myReadLine(filename, linenumber)

{

var _tmpfile;

var _line;

_tmpfile = FileOpen(filename, 0);

if(_tmpfile)

{

var _linenumber = 0;

while(!_tmpfile.eof)

{

_line = _tmpfile.ReadLine();

if(_line)

{

_linenumber = _linenumber + 1;

if (_linenumber == linenumber)

{

_tmpfile.Close();

return _line;

}

}

}

_tmpfile.Close();

}

return ""; // empty string if can't read file, or can't find the line wanted.

}

Merchants,

If you do not want to add the @CRLFs within AutoIt, then I can only suggest that you type the lines into an editor and save the result as a file - the editor adding the line feeds automatically. Then you can read the file into AutoIt with FileRead - you will include the @CRLFs from the file - and you can finally write the result using FileWrite. :)

By the way what is that strange mixture of code you are trying to write? ;)

.. well i al do it this way:

$file = FileOpen("test.txt", 1)

; Check if file opened for writing OK
If $file = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf


$sText = "function myReadLine(filename, linenumber)" & @CRLF
$sText &= "{" & @CRLF
$sText &= "   var _tmpfile;" & @CRLF
$sText &= "   var _line;" & @CRLF
$sText &= ""
$sText &= "   _tmpfile = FileOpen(filename, 0);" & @CRLF
$sText &= ""
$sText &= "   if(_tmpfile)" & @CRLF
$sText &= "   {" & @CRLF
$sText &= "      var _linenumber = 0;" & @CRLF
$sText &= "      while(!_tmpfile.eof)" & @CRLF
$sText &= "      {" & @CRLF
$sText &= "         _line = _tmpfile.ReadLine();" & @CRLF
$sText &= "         if(_line)" & @CRLF
$sText &= "         {" & @CRLF
$sText &= "            _linenumber = _linenumber + 1;" & @CRLF
$sText &= "            if (_linenumber == linenumber)" & @CRLF
$sText &= "            {" & @CRLF
$sText &= "               _tmpfile.Close();" & @CRLF
$sText &= "               return _line;" & @CRLF
$sText &= "            }" & @CRLF
$sText &= "         }" & @CRLF
$sText &= "      }" & @CRLF
$sText &= "      _tmpfile.Close();" & @CRLF
$sText &= "   }" & @CRLF
$sText &= "   return ""; // empty string if can't read file, or can't find the line wanted." & @CRLF
$sText &= "}"

FileWrite($file, $sText)


FileClose($file)
