how to use "fprintf" correctly with "foreach"

acom
acom over 11 years ago

 

i have written a script and got what i wanted like below:

 

 

 

*****The original script*****

port=outfile("/home/user/test" "w")

fprintf(port "%s\n" "test1")

fprintf(port "%s\n" "test2")

close(port)

 

 *****The ideal output in /home/user/test*****

test1

test2

 

 i would like to simplify the above script but i have gotten what i didn't expect like below

 

*****the simplified script*****

 testlist=list("test1" "test2")

foreach(testele testlist outfile("/home/user/test" "w") fprintf(port "%s\n" testele)

 close(port)

 

 

*****The bad output in /home/user/test*****

test2

 

 

would you please help me to do someting in the simplified script and get what i want?

 

 

Thanks:)

    Either:

    testlist=list("test1" "test2")
    port=outfile("/home/user/test" "w")
    foreach(testele testlist
      fprintf(port "%s\n" testele)
    )
    close(port) 

    or:

    testlist=list("test1" "test2")
    foreach(testele testlist
      port=outfile("/home/user/test" "a")
      fprintf(port "%s\n" testele)
      close(port) 
    )

    The second opens the file in append mode. The first opens the port once and then repeatedly writes to it. Take your pick!

    Regards,

    Andrew.
