Function MemoWrit() Foundation

Writes a character string or a memo field into a file.

Syntax
MemoWrit( <cFilename>, <cString> ) --> lSuccess
Parameters
<cFileName>
<cFilename> is a character string containing the name of a file (including the drive and path if necessary).
<cString>
<cString> is a character string or a memo field written into the file <cFilename>.
Return

If MemoWrit() could successfully write the text <cString> into the file, the function returns the value .T. (true). Otherwise, the return value is .F. (false).

Description

The memo function MemoWrit() writes a character string into a file. It is the counterpart of MemoRead() which reads files. When the path is not specified in <cFilename>, MemoWrit() writes the file into the current directory. MemoWrite() ignores the setting of SET DEFAULT to determine the path. If the file <cFilename> already exists, it is overwritten without warning.

Examples
MemoWrit() 
// In this example, the functions MemoRead(), MemoWrit(), 
// and MemoEdit() are used to program a short user-defined 
// function for a simple text file editor. 

PROCEDURE Main 

   ? TextEditor( "Test.txt" ) 

RETURN 

FUNCTION TextEditor( cFilename ) 
RETURN MemoWrit( cFilename, MemoEdit( MemoRead( cFilename ) ) )
