Re: IFS Open Help...

[M.Effenberg@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Michael,

--snip------
ifsfile = '/tmp/test.txt';
fd = open(%trimr(ifsfile): O_RDONLY: 511: 1252); 

dou (done = 1); 
        len = read(fd : %addr(Buff) : %size(Buff) ); 
        if (len < 1); 
                done = 1; 
        endif; 
enddo;

close(fd);
--snip------

Thats the normal way to do it.

fd is defined as 10i0
ifsfile is 1024a in my version
buff is 8192a

I hope this is correct :)
I copied this from one of my programs, that works (at least it worked the 
last time i used it :) ).
read() is the only function, that needs the pointer adress to read data 
into..
open() just wants the plain filename.

best regards
 Martin
