Custom Query

Where an application is writing to a log file frequently, the opening and closing of the log file for each entry can slow the application. It would speed things up it _FileWriteLog() could accept a file handle or a file name as the first parameter, similar to the way _FileWriteFromArray() does.

Would it be possible to add an optional parameter to this UDF function sometime to optionally disable the return of the row count in element zero. I use ubound() to determine the size of arrays in my scripts and all the arrays I create start with data in element zero. It would avoid the need to have to move all the data up one index or remember to +/- 1 to the index value when comparing data from an array created by FileReadToArray() and an array that has data in element zero.

Description

I made a feature request for this 6 years ago, (ticket #47), which was rejected at the time due to a proposed re-write of the FileInstall() code. Would it be possible for someone to have another look at this some time.

I would like FileInstall() to use the same Flag parameter values as FileCopy(), by adding an option to be able to create the FileInstall destination folder structure if it does not exist when the script is run and the file installs.

flag [optional] 
this flag determines whether to overwrite files if they already exist.
Can be a combination of the following:
 0 = (default) do not overwrite existing files
 1 = overwrite existing files
 8 = Create destination directory structure if it doesn't exist (See Remarks).
