Cepillado Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hello, I'm trying to store some positions in a .txt file, but whenever I use the command to save the position, it writes over the same line and replaces the first position saved. Here's my code function saveCoords(source) local x,y,z = getElementPosition( source ) local stringPos = string.format("%f, %f, %f \n ",x,y,z) local hFile = fileOpen("coords.txt",false) fileWrite(hFile,stringPos) fileClose(hFile) end I've tried the code without closing the file, same thing happens, I've also tried the code without the \n, and I get the same result. (I'm really sorry if you don't understand some of the things that I wrote, English is not my first language) Link to comment
Moderators IIYAMA Posted May 2, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 2, 2014 function saveCoords(source) local x,y,z = getElementPosition( source ) local stringPos = string.format("%f, %f, %f \n ",x,y,z) local hFile = fileOpen("coords.txt",false) fileSetPos(hFile,fileGetSize ( hFile )) -- I added this. fileWrite(hFile,stringPos) fileClose(hFile) end You can get the filesize, which is the amount of bytes/characters in the document. When you set the read position to the size of the document. It will start writing at the bytes after that. Good luck! Link to comment
