Hello,

is it possible to append a line on a file with std.streams ?

import std.stream;

int main() {
        File file = new File;
        file.create("testfile.txt");

        file.writeLine("Line 1");

        file.close();

        return 0;
}


If i run the programm twice, i have only one line in my file.

In C looks like:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {

        FILE* fp;
        fp= fopen("testfile.txt","a+");
        fputs("Line 1",fp);
        fclose(fp);

        return 0;
}


I missed an append function in stream's .

Shouldn't you use an open() method? (I don't know; just guessing)

Replaceing your first two lines with:

File file = new File("testfile.txt",FileMode.Out);
file.seekEnd(0);

Should do the trick!

Even Better:

File file = new File;
try {
file.open("testfile.txt",FileMode.Out);
} catch (OpenError e) {
file.create("testfile.txt",FileMode.Out);
}
file.seekEnd(0);

My std.stream "update" fixes that bug. File open will create if it isn't there.

Must be in 0.82, I'm still stuck on 0.81 and tried it after I made my first post. Needless to say: it didn't work. I'll download 0.82. Thanks...

Andrew,

Ben was talking about his *updated* version: it's not in the Phobos library (yet). Ben provided a download link for it a week or so ago, and I think this is probably the place: http://home.comcast.net/~benhinkle/stream.d
