FileWriteLine limit?

[tammelinn]

Apologies for another newbie question.

$outputfile = "output.txt"

FileOpen($outputfile, 1)
FileWriteLine($outputfile, $text)
FileClose($outputfile)

Once $outputfile reaches about 30k, no more text is written.

Is this a fixed limit? Can it be increased? I couldn't find any mention of limits in the helpfiles for these functions, and only a few mentions of file limits in the forums, when .ini files were being discussed.

There's no limit on that that. The problem is you're using FileClose wrong. So actually the file is Opened but not closed and autoit reaches its limit. For me limit was at 508 openings.

$outputfile = "output.txt"

For $a = 1 To 40000
    TestFunc($a)
Next

Func TestFunc($text)
    $file = FileOpen($outputfile, 1)
    $status = FileWriteLine($file, $text)
    ConsoleWrite(@CR & $text & " - " & $status)
    FileClose($file)

Thanks again! That was the solution.

The corrected code:

$outputfile = "output.txt"

$file = FileOpen($outputfile, 1)
FileWriteLine($file, $text)
FileClose($file)
