1. Printing numbers

Hi, OK, I've only been playing with Euphoria for a couple of years, but I have an elementary question that's driving me nuts. I want to take a sequence of integers and turn it into a .csv file - ie a text file with the numbers as numbers, with commas in between (and maybe semicolons for line delimiters). No braces or anything, just numbers. I've tried print, puts etc, and a couple of libraries in the archives, but nothing I do seems to work. It surely can't be that hard??? Apologies if I'm being really stupid and have missed something blindingly obvious, but can anyone help? TIA Sid

Sid, If you use Gabriel Boehme's "print.e" from the archives, it's pretty easy (and this is why it really should be in Euphoria in the first place): <code follows> include print.e sequence someNumbers someNumbers = {1,2,3,4} procedure someProcedure() integer outFile outFile = open("num.txt", "w") for n = 1 to length(someNumbers) do print(outFile, someNumbers[n]) if n < length(someNumbers) then puts(outFile, ",") end if end for close(outFile) end procedure <end code> result is: 1,2,3,4 Dan Moyer ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sid Sidebottom" <sid.sidebottom at ST.COM> To: <EUPHORIA at LISTSERV.MUOHIO.EDU> Sent: Monday, November 20, 2000 4:48 AM Subject: Printing numbers > Hi, > > OK, I've only been playing with Euphoria for a couple of years, but I have > an elementary question that's driving me nuts. > > I want to take a sequence of integers and turn it into a .csv file - ie a > text file with the numbers as numbers, with commas in between (and maybe > semicolons for line delimiters).

Not to knock Gabriel's library, but if you change the line: > print(outFile, someNumbers[n]) into: > printf(outFile, "%d", {someNumbers[n]}) you should get the same result, without having to use Gabriels's library. -- David Cuny
