Get the return of "fopen"

[luminis]

Have you tried:


if ( $session = 0 ) {
......
}


The 0 shouldn't be double quoted because the return of fopen is an int value, not a string. Hope that helps. :)

Thanks luminis... I see how it's simple and evident :)
(For my if, it was just a sentence to explicite de zero value)

Thanks

// Notes : Don't forget the quotes in writing your strings. Use "/" (and not "\") for the path. Add the extension you want (*.txt, *.bat, *.3d).


global proc writeTextFile(string $fileName, string $content) {
$session=`fopen $fileName "w"`;
fwrite $session $content;
fclose $session;

if ($session=0) {
error "An error has occured during writing the file";
}
}

I could be wrong but shouldn't it be:

if ($session==0)

if ($session=0) --> doesn't this set $session equal to zero???

One other note - along time back I was doing this in TCL and I remember that I was getting wierd results until I remembered to close the opened file within the script. I wonder if mel is the same.

Yes, sorry, it's true about the ==
For the C-style file write function, I've learn it by working on PHP ;)

yeah, in mel that will set $session to 0.
