 Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2007 4:22 pm Post subject: `n not working properly when outputting to ini |
 |
|
i don't know why i can't figure out this problem...maybe it's because i don't fully understand how line breaks work behind the scenes...but here's what's happening:
| Code: | FileAppend, %exampleVar1%`n%exampleVar2%`n%exampleVar3%, logs\statistics.ini
sleep 100
FileAppend, `nRecorded Date-%currentMonth%/%currentDay%/%currentYear%; Error Message-`"%text%`", logs\statistics.ini
FileRead, timelog, logs\timelog.ini
sleep 100
FileAppend, `n`n%timelog%`n, logs\statistics.ini |
So what the output is SUPPOSED to look like is:
| Code: | exampleVar1
exampleVar2
exampleVar3
Recorded Date-11/13/2007; Error Message-"ROM Drive is Empty.
abort"
Date: Tuesday, November 13, 2007 @ 09:59:41 AM, Time Elapsed: 0:00:04, Error Message: ROM Drive Is Empty. abort ; this is what is found in the "timelog" file |
so far, most of the line breaks are fine. but my problem is that it ALWAYS outputs like this:
| Code: | exampleVar1
exampleVar2
exampleVar3
Recorded Date-11/13/2007; Error Message-"ROM Drive Is Empty.
abort"Date: Tuesday, November 13, 2007 @ 09:59:41 AM, Time Elapsed: 0:00:04, Error Message: ROM Drive Is Empty. abort |
if u set the cursor before the " between abort and Date and then press the right arrow key, it takes 5 presses before it stops between the "D" and "a", when it should only take 2...so obviously something is there, but i don't know why it's not working as it should and going to the next line.
should i use something else other than `n? i tried `r but that had the same results.
thanks in advance for any light on the subject. |

You can try to insert
| Code: | | timelog = %timelog% |
before writing it to the other file. I believe that trims off any whitespace. |

thanks for the suggestions xander. didn't have any effect in notepad tho.
but it got me thinking, i should use something to trim whitespace...then i wondered what would happen in MS word and wordpad...
both of those had different formatting of that section where i'm having the problem.
Word showed it properly, but had an extra space: (the Date line did have 2 breaks before it!)
| Code: | "ROM Drive is Empty.
abort "
|
in wordpad, it showed up horrid:
| Code: | "ROM Drive is Empty.
abort
" |
and notepad showed the same results as before (no line break between abort" and Date. i'm almost positive it's some kind of code. it's not a space, it doesn't appear to be `n or `r...tho i could easily be wrong.
i have a loop that removes `n, or more if necessary, at the end of the %text%, but apparently i didnt get them all, there's 1 invisible character left.
i ... dunno. i'll keep working at it. |
