Writing newline to a text file

Cem_Karaer · 2008-01-16

How can I write newline to a text file by using the WRITE function of a FILE variable? Or is there any other way to do it?

A line ends with 10 and 13 characters.
Create a txt variable

MyEndLine[1] := 10;
MyEndLine[2] := 13;

in your code MyFile.write('your text'+MyEndLine);

If you set the MyFile.TEXTMODE(true);

Navision will add this so you don't have to.

MyEndLine[1] := 10;
MyEndLine[2] := 13;

If MyEndLine is a text array, it is impossible to assign 10 or 13 values to this array.

They need to be of the type "char" instead. And you probably need to do like this instead:
MyFile.write('your text'+MyEndLine[1] + MyEndLine[2]);

PS. By the way, the 10 and 13 are the ASCII numbers for carriage return and line feed. That's why they change line for you :-)

MyFile.write('your text'+MyEndLine[1] + MyEndLine[2]);

The code above creates the following message:

Type conversion is not possible because 1 of the operators contains an invalid type.

Text + Char

OK

MyFile.write('your text'+FORMAT(MyEndLine[1]) + FORMAT(MyEndLine[2]));

Thank you for the correction :-)

For cemkaraer: In general when you need to convert something to text, you can almost always use the FORMAT command. Works with chars, integers, decimals, dates and so forth.

MyEndLine is not an array. It's text type. And text is an array of characters.
