For example:

WriteString(File, Text$, #PB_File_CR)
WriteString(File, Text$, #PB_File_CRLF)
WriteString(File, Text$, #PB_File_LF)
WriteString(File, Text$, #PB_File_SystemEOL) ; The same as WriteStringN()
WriteString(File, Text$)

With this change, the command WriteStringN() will be not needed anymore.

----------------------------------------------------------------
My old post text:

For example:

Code: Select all

WriteStringN(File, Text$, #PB_File_CR)
WriteStringN(File, Text$, #PB_File_CRLF)
WriteStringN(File, Text$, #PB_File_LF)

Currently, WriteStringN() uses #CRLF$ as the ending line character under Windows and #LF$ under Linux.

You can do it already:

Code: Select all

WriteString(File, Text$ + #CR$)
WriteString(File, Text$ + #CRLF$)
WriteString(File, Text$ + #LF$)

Hello Dude

I'm aware of that.
However, the PB help tells you to use the "WriteStringN()" command when a line ending character is needed.

PB help: WriteString() wrote:Remarks
To write a string including a newline sequence, use the WriteStringN() function.

PB help: WriteStringN() wrote:Remarks
To write a string without a newline sequence, use the WriteString() function.

In fact, the "WriteStringN()" command could also be removed and allow the "WriteString()" command to support the following flags:

#PB_File_CRLF
#PB_File_LF
#PB_File_CR
#PB_File_SystemEOL

#PB_File_LF

#PB_File_CR

#PB_File_SystemEOL (Default)

You actually would have to add a constant like #PB_File_NoLineEnding (Default) instead of the default you specified..

Hello Demivec

Yes, sorry, the default value should be zero (none of the four constants mentioned above).
I have corrected my first and previous post accordingly.
