fdisplay

 

 

Overview

The fdisplay function converts the expression {exp} to ascii text and writes the text value of the expressions to the specified fileID {fileID}. The fileID must be assigned from a previous fileOpen function. The fdisplay function always returns a Boolean value true.

Usage

Data is written to a file with the fileWrite, fileWriteln, fwriteln, fdisplay or fileDisplay function, however, records are not actually committed to the file until the file is closed. Thus, attempting to read a record immediately after a fileWrite, fileWriteln, fwriteln, fdisplay or fileDisplay will result in an error. In order to verify records that have been written, it is necessary to close the file and save the file (fileClose with an option argument equal to 1) . The file can then be re-opened and read with the fileRead function.

 

Syntax


Expression:

(fdisplay fileID exp )


Arguments Name Type Description
Argument:fileIDInteger An Integer representing the fileID of the file which was opened with a fileOpen function.
Argument:expString Text ByteVector An expression

Returns:

Always the Boolean value, true.
