AREXX Problem
I just got AREXX and am having a small problem with file I/O and I thought
maybe you could help. Here is a sample program that illustrates the trouble.
* Save BBS Connect Date and Time */
address command
say open(TEMP,'dh0:AT/Board.temp','W')
say open(BBS,'dh0:AT/BoardDates','R')
do while ~ eof(BBS)
NextLine = readln(BBS)
say writeln(TEMP,NextLine)
end
say close(BBS)
say close(TEMP)
exit
When I run this it executes fine except that the Board.temp file always has
an extra LF character appended to the end of the file. If I rename the file
and run the program again, it will append an additional LF character each
time. What's up? I assume it's something I'm doing wrong but what?
