This object can be used to create a new file or append information to the end of an existing file.

Object Creation: Creating an roAppendFile object opens an existing file or creates a new file. The current position is set to the end of the file, and all writes are made to the end of the file.

CreateObject("roAppendFile", filename As String)

ifStreamSend

SetSendEol(eol_sequence As String) As Void

Sets the EOL sequence when writing to the stream. The default value is CR+LF. If you need to set this value to a non-printing character, use the chr() global function.

SendByte(byte As Integer) As Void

Writes the specified byte to the stream.

SendLine(string As String) As Void

Writes the specified characters to the stream followed by the current EOL sequence.

SendBlock(a As Dynamic) As Void

Writes the specified characters to the stream. This method can support either a string or an roByteArray. If the block is a string, any null bytes will terminate the block.

Flush() As Void

Writes the stream to the file, blocking execution until all data is written out. This is also done automatically when the object is destroyed (for example, by reassigning the variable containing it).

AsyncFlush() As Void

Writes the stream to the file within a few seconds. The system will not block execution while writing to the file.

ifStreamPosition

CurrentPosition() As Integer

Returns the current position within the file.
