Check whether "WriteLine" was succesful?

Hi,

the function "WriteRegistryValue" returns whether the value was written or not. Is it similarly possible to find out whether a string was succesfully written to a text file when you use the "WriteLine" function? I'd like to write to files on disk shared on a network, but I have to make sure that everything is correctly saved. I've thought about solving this with a script, but I can't really think of a good way of doing it.

Thanks in advance!

Is this something you could do with INI files? Or, more extreme, use a database or PHP?

I'm not familiar enough with PHP to try that out, and I think a disadvantage of using databases is that there has to be a database file already in the location you want to save to (right?), as opposed to text files, where Opus will automatically create one if there is none.

I'll have a look at INI files though, that might help me. Thanks!

I solved the problem using INI files

. For anyone interested, this is the code I use now:

Code:

function saveline(loc,index,string)
//Save a line of data (string) to a data file with name loc (in location saveloc1), in section index.
   {
   while (check==false)
      {
      check = SetINIFileData(saveloc1 + "\\" + loc, "Data", index, "   " + string)
      }
   check = false
   }

Thanks a lot for your help, Mack!
