Misbehaving FileWrite

[IAMK]

Hello,

Can someone explain what I've done wrong?

The code is supposed to call a function which brings up a GUI with "Pass" and "Fail" buttons. $pass is True/False, using in the following code:

Func getStatus($pass)
   If($pass = "True") Then
      Return " passed "
   Else
      Return " failed "
   EndIf
EndFunc

I write a line to a .txt file, saying whether Step # passed or failed and how long it took. Then, if the button pressed was "Fail", an InputBox was created, which is the "Return" of SanityCheckGUI() which goes into $failLog. Refer to code below:

Local $failLog = SanityCheckGUI($pass, $stepMessage[$step]) ;Returns a message to log if the step failed.

   FileWrite($filename, _Now() & ": Step " & $step & getStatus($pass) & "and took " & (TimerDiff($timer) / 1000) & " seconds." & @CRLF)

   If($failLog <> "") Then
      FileWrite($file, _Now() & ": " & $failLog & @CRLF)
   EndIf

However... this is what I actually get when I press:

Pass: (This is correct)

14/11/2017 12:30:27 PM: Step 2 passed and took 1.48731919633846 seconds.

Fail: (How does "jfuer6", the thing I put into the InputBox, come before the long line and cut it in half?)

14/11/2017 12:29:54 PM: jfuer6
ailed and took 4.73581847206323 seconds.

Expected for Fail:

14/11/2017 12:29:54 PM: Step 2 failed and took 4.73581847206323 seconds.
14/11/2017 12:29:54 PM: jfuer6

Thank you in advance.

I found the issue.

<$filename> should be <$file>

 

Question: Why does this mistake not get picked up by AutoIT / keep the text in the buffer?

IANK,

If $file is a handle and $filename is a fully qualified file name then both syntaxes are correct.
