number fwrite(string buffer, number size, number count, number fd)
Parameters
buffer
[in] Data to be written
size
[in] Item size in bytes
count
[in] Maximum number of items to be written
fd
[in] File descriptor
Description:
The fwrite function writes up to count items, of size length each, from buffer to the output file. If the file is opened in text mode, each carriage return is replaced with a carriage-return - linefeed pair. The replacement has no effect on the return value.
fwrite returns the number of full items actually written, which may be less than count if an error occurs.
Return value:
fwrite returns the number of full items actually written, which may be less than count if an error occurs.
Example
include 'ArrayList.con'
import standard.C.io
import standard.C.math
import standard.C.time
define FILENAME "test.txt"
class Main {
function RandomString(len) {
var buffer = "";
var list = new ArrayList();
list[0] = "a";
list[1] = "b";
list[2] = "c";
srand(time());
for (var i = 0; i<len; i++)
buffer += list[rand()%3];
return buffer;
}
function Main() {
var fd;
var bytes;
var buffer;
// Generate the buffer
buffer = RandomString(10);
// Open file in text mode
if (fd = fopen(FILENAME, "w+t")) {
echo "Contents of buffer = " + buffer + "\n";
bytes = fwrite(buffer, 1, 10, fd);
echo "Wrote " + bytes + " items\n";
fclose(fd);
} else
echo "Problem opening the file\n";
// Open file in text mode
if (fd = fopen(FILENAME, "r+t")) {
buffer = "";
bytes = fread(buffer, 1, 10, fd);
echo "Number of items read = " + bytes + "\n";
echo "Contents of buffer = " + buffer + "\n";
fclose(fd);
} else
echo "File could not be opened\n";
}
}
Results
Contents of buffer = bacccaabba
Wrote 10 items
Number of items read = 10
Contents of buffer = bacccaabba
