How do i write a zero-character to file

[Guest Alexey]

How do i write a zero-character into a file?

This writes nothing to a file

FileWrite($f, Chr(0))

[Insolence]

Do you mean like this?

FileWrite($f, 0)

I thought I saw on the boards somewhere someone wrote some Binary File I/O functions

to Insolence: Sorry for confusing title, i didn't mean a "0" character i mean a character with ASCII code equal to 0.

Okay, im still searching, here's what i have found so far:

AutoIt can't handle binary files (yet).

You can write any ASCII character to a file using FileWrite($f, Chr($c)) where $c is from 1 to 255, but it doesn't do anything if $c = 0... Edited March 26, 2005 by Alexey

Okay, I have found a DLL to read/write a binary file here. Many thanks to LazyCat.

this doesnt read or write binary files... but it can translate text into binary or binary into text, im not sure if thats what you need?
