Re: [Gambas-user] EOF problem

Doriano: Your words were perfectly appropriate, and I understood them and appreciate the support! Thanks! Yes, I wish EOF would work properly - it would make moving the code from VB6 to Gambas less trouble, since the VB6 code uses EOF. I really need to try updating Ubuntu and Gambas I

Re: [Gambas-user] EOF problem

Hi Ed, After many tries, I managed to recreate your problem. It happens with your code and the code supplied by Dimitris. I am using Ubuntu 9.04, Kernel 2.6.28-18, Gambas 2.20.2, QT I have not managed to figure out the cause yet. I will do more tests and get back to you. Regards Les Hardy Ed

Re: [Gambas-user] EOF problem

Hi Ed, I figured it out. First of all, depending how the text file was emptied/created, the contents may not be truely empty. Gedit for example leaves the 0A (end-of-line) character in the 'empty' file. This is recognised by eof() as a character, so, end-of-file is not found. I am not sure if

Re: [Gambas-user] EOF problem

Dimitris Les: First Dimitris: OK, I pasted in your code. I had to change temp to tmp, because Temp seems to be a Keyword. With that out of the way, the problem persists. When it fails, I get EOF both in label1 and the debug window. When it works OK, I get a blank label1 and the text

Re: [Gambas-user] EOF problem

Hi all: A couple of comments about the discussions below: 1. The test program was written with EOF at the start, because the actual program I am working on has this structure, for reading in multiple lines of text: WHILE NOT EOF(tfile) (bunch of code for reading the lines in and putting

Re: [Gambas-user] EOF problem

Ed, if reading a text file and extracting information from it is what you're trying to do, why not just use tmp = File.Load(Fname) File.Load is documented over here http://www.gambasdoc.org/help/comp/gb/file/load after loading the contents of Fname in tmp you can do your magic, without using an

Re: [Gambas-user] EOF problem

Dimitris: Oooh! That works! Weird. I'll have to write a little code to parse out my data from the single string variable, but that's a great work-around if I can't get EOF to work. Thanks! Ed K. Dimitris Anogiatis wrote: Ed, if reading a text file and extracting information from it is

[Gambas-user] EOF problem

Hi! I'm having a problem reliably reading a text file. I am using: Panasonic CF-51 Toughbook Ubuntu 9.04 , Kernel 2.6.28-18 Gambas 2.8, QT Below is the code for a test program which demonstrates the problem. This is a simple form, with one button, and one label. The only code is the

Re: [Gambas-user] EOF problem

Thanks for the quick reply! 1. The problem is independent of the contents of the text file. 2. I tried a more complicated test program in which there are TWO buttons, and TWO different text files. This behaves similarly; most of the time, failure of one button/file will be accompanied by

Re: [Gambas-user] EOF problem

Ed can you try this and tell us if it still doesn't work? PUBLIC SUB Button1_Click() DIM tfile AS File DIM Fname AS String Dim temp AS String Fname = /home/us/Documents/testdat.txt tfile = OPEN Fname FOR READ label1.Text = IF Eof(tfile) THEN label1.Text = EOF Print
