Then on page 270 it presents some of those methods. The accurate use
of words in their product development seems to leave a lot to be
desired. Take these words for example: In the functions below, opening
for OUTPUT seems to evaluate to WRITE and opening for INPUT evaluates
to READ. This is so counter intuitive; too many of these could waste a
lot of time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
File.OpenOutput (Dir As String, FileName As String, Append As Boolean)
Opens the given file for output, the Append parameter tells whether
the text will be added at the end of the existing file or not. If the
file doesn't exist it will be created.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
File.OpenInput (Dir As String, FileName As String)
Opens the file for reading.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
File.WriteString (Dir As String, FileName As String, Text As String)
Writes the given text to a new file.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
File.ReadString (Dir As String, FileName As String) As String
Reads a file and returns its content as a string.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Gary,
Output would be related to WRITING data; INPUT would be related to
READING data. I don't see how that's counter-intuitive? Obviously I'm
not understanding or missing the point. ???
Thanks,
