WriteStringVariableToFile

Definition

WriteStringVariableToFile(string value)

Description

This function writes a string value to the currently open file. Before writing information to the file, make sure that you have opened the desired file for writing with the OpenFileForWriting function.

Parameter

value

Specifies a string value to write to the currently opened file.

Example

sVar = "init"

function Init()
   --Create a folder in Assets/Data/ path
   CreateFolder("Lev1")

   --Create and open file to write data
   OpenFileForWriting("Lev1/level1.bin")
   WriteStringVariableToFile("level1")
   CloseFile("Lev1/level1.bin")

   --Open File to load data
   OpenFileForReading("Lev1/level1.bin")
   sVar = ReadStringVariableFromFile()
   CloseFile("Lev1/level1.bin")
end

First, using the CreateFolder function, we create a folder called “Lev1” in the Assets/Data/ path. Then, using the OpenFileForWriting function, we open the level1.bin file located in the Assets/Data/Lev1/ path for writing. After writing a string value “level1” by the WriteStringVariableToFile function, we close the file by the CloseFile function.

Then, using the OpenFileForReading function, we open the level1.bin file located in the path Assets/Data/Lev1/ for reading and read a string variable from the level1.bin file with the ReadStringVariableFromFile() function. In our example, value of sVar is “level1” after reading it. Finally, we close the file by the CloseFile function.
