writeLine

Syntax

writeLine(handle, string, [windowsLineEnding])

Arguments

The optional Boolean parameter windowsLineEnding is the line ending character. If the parameter is not specified, the line ending character would be:

• \r\n if handle is a socket

• \n if handle is a file and the operation system is not Windows

• \r\n if handle is a file and the operating system is Windows

Details

Write a line to the given handle. The function will automatically append a line delimiter to the string. Thus the string shouldn’t end with a line delimiter. If the operation succeeds, it returns 1; otherwise, an IOException will be raised.

Examples

$ x=`IBM`MSFT`GOOG`YHOO`ORCL
$ eachRight(writeLine, file("test.txt","w"), x);
[1,1,1,1,1]

$ fin = file("test.txt")
$ do{
$    x=fin.readLine()
$    if(x.isVoid()) break
$    print x
$ }
$ while(true);
