_FileWriteToLine

[Baz]

Hi ya.

I have written a script that records the temperature and stores the information in a php file and also a txt file so that if the script is restarted, it reads the old values back from the txt file. I have removed most of the coding to keep it simple as I have one problem. The script fails to complete lines 76 ($err = _FileWriteToLine ( $file_txt, 3, $hvalue, 1 )) and 80 (FileWriteToLine ( $file_txt, 6, $lvalue, 1 )), even though lines 86 and 87 do the same but to a different file. I have put in an MSGBOX to display the value to see and it is correct. If anyone has got any ideas that would be great. I have added an error thing to line 86 and this comes back with "6" that would suggest that the value to be written is invalid but how can that be when it works with lines 86 and 87 and MSGBOX?

To test the script, you will need to have two files each with at least 20 blank lines, backup.txt and current_.php Once you start the file, after 5 seconds it will ask you for a value and if you give it say 30 you will see that within the backup.txt file the first two lines are correct but line 3 which should contain 30 is blank.

Anyway thanks for looking.

use iniwrite and iniread so you can use sections and keys which is very useful

Fair comment, but this should work and I would like to know why it doesn't work. I hate to have to work around problems but thanks.

sure no problem

i never liked filewrite, but iniwrite is very nice once said a wise man.

Iniwrite and Iniread...is really much better than writing to a .txt. simpler...and has less errors...hope this helped you.

Hi all.

Ok, changed the code to use read/writeINI and it works great. So with your help I can move on but now I need to know why I had the issue that I had, just the way I am.

Thank you very much for your help.

Cheers

Well...I Really Cant Say. The File Write Might Be Buggy? Ive Never Used It, Ive Always Used IniWrite(), IniRead()

So Many Its Buggy?/Broken?

INI's have a 32KB limit on them.
