This crashes for me:


However, adding 0 for the 'optional' append parameter then it doesn't crash, even though that parameter is said to be 0 by default.

What version are you working with?

EDIT: Never mind, it crashes in v1076. Please report this as bug in the google issue list and I'll confirm it.

Even though the documentation is wrong about the default (and that should be included in the bug report), the app does crash if you don't provide it with either a zero or one.

EDIT: If you are testing on your Windows computer, go to Documents/AGK/<yourappname>/media and manually delete the file. And there is a DeleteFile command for use within the app.

v108 beta 11

Yes I can delete the file, but it'll still crash whether or not the file is exists. Basically, it only works if I specify that parameter.



Well this is quite bizarre. I created the file using 0 as the overwrite parameter (file did not exist at this point). It created the text document as expected with the proper text. I then ran the same snippet only this time I set parameter to 1 to append to the file. Oh it appended the line of text alright, but it also changed the character encoding! Here's my output when I appended the text to the already existing file:

桔⁥楢⁧瑳灵摩搠杯爠湡椠瑮⁡慷汬!桔⁥楢⁧瑳灵摩搠杯爠湡椠瑮⁡慷汬!

In case you can't see the characters, it's all japanese. I haven't reported this part as a bug yet, because this only appears to open in japanese for me in notepad. Wordpad, Word, or Notepad++ displays the text fine.

Just updated my post with an additional note. It only appears to display in japanese with Notepad only, and only after I've appended text to it.

Can you post the actual file? I spend my days dealing with things like this!

Keep in mind that WriteString is outputting for a binary file. If you want a file that is human readable/editable, you use WriteLine.

For text files, you'll need to convert all your numbers to strings.

Fixed the crash and the default setting for OpenToWrite for next beta. The Japanese I have no idea, but maybe this will also be fixed.

I think that was related to using WriteString instead of WriteLine.
