  •  Zfeng,

    The problem is that there's no putc function, and whilst the alternative is to use something like fprintf() to write to a file, these cannot handle the complete range of characters from 0 to 255. In particular 0 will not work because it's seen as the null terminator, and so an empty string will be written if you try doing fprintf(port "%c" intToChar(0)) for example.

    As I said before, SKILL is not really geared up for handling binary files - but you may want to contact customer support and request that a putc() function be added - there's no enhancement request that I can see asking for that currently.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
