filewritestring()

filewritestring( <"string"> )

Description

This writes the specified string literal to the file.

Example

filewritestring("BBC World news headlines") 
filewritestring("========================") 
filewritebyte(13)
filewritebyte(10)
filewritebyte(13)
filewritebyte(10)

Specifics

It is not possible to copy strings out of the teletext page. This action should be performed by reading the frame character by character and writing bytewise to file, as this example shows:

filewritestring("                  Sky  = ")
set A to 30
.reportloop
  set B to char(A, 17)
  filewritebyte(B)
  A++
  if (A [ 40) go("reportloop")
filewritebyte(13)
filewritebyte(10)

This example copies the weather 'forecast' word (cloudy, rain, snow, etc) from the frame.

filewritebyte()
filewritefloat()
filewritevar()
