Write enter character to a file

[gunnar66]

Hi Can some one show me how to write an Enter character (chr 13) to a file? HANDLE hAppend; DWORD dwBytesRead, dwBytesWritten; char buff[1]; TCHAR* filnavnhtml; hAppend = CreateFile (filnavnhtml, // Open .txt. GENERIC_WRITE, // Open for writing 0, // Do not share NULL, // No security CREATE_ALWAYS, // Open or create FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, // Normal file NULL); // No template file // write an enter character to the file WriteFile (hAppend, buff, dwBytesRead, &dwBytesWritten, NULL);

After calling CreateFile(), you'll need to call SetFilePointer(..., FILE_END) to position the file pointer to the end of the file. After that, the call to WriteFile() will look something like:

BYTE b = 13;
WriteFile(..., &b, 1, ...);

Hi gunnar66, Here you go... // Write a carriage return to the file DWORD dwBytesWritten = 0; BYTE obByte = 0x0d; WriteFile(m_hLogFile, obByte, 1, &dwBytesWritten, NULL)) regards, Dark Angel
