Description
Procedure WriteBin outputs the specified data to a binary file. The variable length parameter list specifies the data to be written to the file.
Supported data types include INTEGER (2-bytes), REAL (8-bytes), LONGINT (4-bytes), CHAR (1-byte) or STRING/DYNARRAY OF CHAR (see remarks).
The bytes will be written as little-endian.
Strings will require two additional INTEGER parameters: symbol count and encoding:
- 0 – mac
- 1 – win
- 2 – system
- 3 – UTF8
- 4 – UTF16
PROCEDURE WriteBin(
z :ANY);
def vs.WriteBin(z): return None
Parameters
z ANY
Example
WriteBin('text', 0); { string, mac } WriteBin(1234); { number }
