Re: HELP- with open("ab")

The problem is a text file should be opened in "a" mode (append text).

  --Sample:

  --say textfile1.txt is an existing text file...

  include file.e

  atom fp1

  --opens text file in append text mode:
  fp1=open("c:\\Euphoria\\Projects\\Tests\\textfile1.txt", "a")

  --prints next line in text file:
  printf(fp1,"%s\n",{"This will be next line printed to text file."})

  --closes the file:
  close(fp1)

  --the documentation for Euphoria v2.0 says the file must exist, yet
  --opening in the "a" mode with a filename that doesnt exist starts
  --a new 0 length file as if opened in the "w" mode.

  Good luck with it,
