End ofFile Character

Roger,
We are sending a file to a web page that cannot have the end of file character (hex 1A).
We are using fwrite() and fclose(). Is there a way (method) to save this file without that character in Alaska, or any method to strip it off?

I will have to check but I thought that memowrit() did this but the fxxxxx functions did not. Had came across this with the xml functions in express++.
Not completely certain without some testing.
Cliff.

Oh, I thought it was the other way around. Let me try the memowrite. I think I remember that also.
Thanks, Cliff

Hi,
'memowrit' will add that character. Normally you wont have it when you use fwrite.
This is my function which i use for years.
Code: Select all
function abomemowrite(cTargetFile,cBuffer)
******************************************
Local nTarget := FCreate( cTargetFile, FC_NORMAL )
if nTarget == -1
return .F.
else
FWrite( nTarget, cBuffer)
FClose(ntarget)
endif
return .T.

FWrite() does not add an EOF character.
I suspect that the EOF character is in the buffer text that you are writing.

Verified and memowrit, which is used for our log routine and other situations, just updates info in a file, and never has an eof character, at least not the way we do it.
We do a memoread, then write the memoread plus what is to be added. On our error logs, it never ends I think we got this straight from Rogers error routine years ago.

Sorry, I was wrong. The fwrite is the one that does not have the eof character.

Hi,
That was what I thought.
It's the reason I made my abomemowrit() function once.
