Blank Lines At Start Of New File [SOLVED]

[jayand]

I've hit a road block with a very simple piece of code. In the code below In the created file the first line has 1 space & the 2nd line has 2 spaces, while all the other lines are written correctly. If this is normal how can I prevent the seeming blank lines being created, if not what am I doing wrong?

Code: Select all

InDir.s =    ; Choose your own directory
OutFile.s =  ; Choose your own path & file name

CreateFile(1, OutFile)
If ExamineDirectory(0, InDir, "*.*")
	While NextDirectoryEntry(0)
	  WriteStringN(1, DirectoryEntryName(0))
	Wend
	FinishDirectory(0)
EndIf
CloseFile(1)

Could it be that your monitor resolution is too large

First line one dot (directory entry to own directory)
Second line a double dot (directory entry to parent directory)

This are no spaces:

.
..

That's normal for a directory.
They are placeholders for the directory itself and the parent directory.

If you want to eliminate them, test the directoryname for "." or ".." befoe you write it.

No, the monitor I am currently using is a basic 22" 1920x1080
I should have remembered those 2 directory entries, thanks for reminding me.
