saving an array after _ArrayPush

[Jury]

I have searched but can't find anything about how to save an array after doing an _ArrayPush. I'm trying to save the array as a list with one array element to a line. This is what I've tried and it displays my array with Hello world! at the top but doesn't save it to the file.

Thanking you,

Joe

#include <Array.au3>
#include<File.au3>
Dim $echrDone
$echrdonefile = @MyDocumentsDir & '\AutoIt_code\getter\resources\ECHR_done.txt'
$file = FileOpen($echrdonefile, 1)
; Check if file opened for reading OK
If $file = -1 Then
MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open " & $echrdonefile)
Exit
EndIf
FileClose($file)
If Not _FileReadToArray($echrdonefile, $echrDone) Then
MsgBox(4096, "Error", " Error reading log to Array   error:" & @error)
Exit
EndIf
$echrDone = _ArrayUnique($echrDone)
_ArrayDisplay($echrDone, "$aRecords")
_ArrayPush($echrDone, "Hello world!", 1)
FileClose($file)
_ArrayDisplay($echrDone2, "$avArrayTarget AFTER _ArrayPush() string to beginning")
_FileWriteFromArray($file, $echrDone2, 1)

This adds the array to the end of the existing file:

#include 
#include 
Dim $echrDone
$echrdonefile = "C:temptest.txt"
$file = FileOpen($echrdonefile, 1)
; Check if file opened for reading OK
If $file = -1 Then
MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open " & $echrdonefile)
Exit
EndIf
If Not _FileReadToArray($echrdonefile, $echrDone) Then
MsgBox(4096, "Error", " Error reading log to Array error:" & @error)
Exit
EndIf
$echrDone = _ArrayUnique($echrDone)
_ArrayDisplay($echrDone, "$aRecords")
_ArrayPush($echrDone, "Hello world!", 1)
_ArrayDisplay($echrDone, "$avArrayTarget AFTER _ArrayPush() string to beginning")
_FileWriteFromArray($file, $echrDone, 1)

Hi Joe,

first you can leave out the part with the FileOpen() and FileClose()s :-) Too much code you don't need.

Add an error check to your _FilereadToArray() and FileWriteFromArray() functions. (Get the returncode and @error macro)

Look at the helpfile about _FileWriteFromArray(). Use the @CRLF macro as delimiter.

Thanks for attempting to help me but the resulting file after _FileWriteFromArray is just the same file as the original file _FileReadToArray - I want to know how to end up with a saved a file that has the added Hello world! as the first line.

To get the "Hello world" record in the output file you have to write the whole array and start with index = 0. Hence change

_FileWriteFromArray($file, $echrDone, 1)

to

_FileWriteFromArray($file, $echrDone, 0)

Water,

That's the trick! Thanks for that I think I see the logic of this now.

Chrres,
