error: string too long on input

[wimal]

with WRITE-LINE function I need to attach a long string.But error message is coming when feed a long string.

Is there a method to feed long strings?

Divide the long string into parts to be able to write them to your target file.

Alternatively, you could use the WriteLine method of the FSO.

How about write-char?

 

p/s : FYI I've seen software similar @Tharwat's split method to convert string to (eg: com port devices) '*.raw' format which string data was 'chopped' to an 8bit-block (128 ascii char for each line) with bcc checksum

There is a poke method in lisp that would allow for long strings. I have seen this but it’s not used very often.

 

Peek and poke is for reading database style files.

Ye s it was very easy . I added  (write-line "5555555" fn) (write-line "66666666" fn)

This must be better:

(foreach string '("a" "b" "c")
  (write-line string fn)
)
