File INPUT/OUTPUT

[Anonymous]

once again, i am silenced by the experts..

If you don't want freefile then number each file from #1 and up for your program, then but another number in front of that one so you would end up with 11,12,13 or 421,422,423 etc.

WTF? What opens 423 files from one app? Maybe an OS?

[axipher]

No, not actually openeing 423 files, just opening that file as #423, to prevent opening 2 or more files with same number

If everybody used that, it would be useless.

i just looked to see if you were right, you arent. fb calls a runtime function when using freefile, so when you compile a binary, it is still
important to have used FREEFILE.

Code:

? "hello"
Dim As Integer f
f = FreeFile

becomes

Code:

.intel_syntax noprefix

#sda.bas' compilation started at 05:07:05 (FreeBASIC v0.16b)

.section .text
.balign 16

.globl _main
_main:
push ebp
mov ebp, esp
and esp, 0xFFFFFFF0
sub esp, 8
mov dword ptr [ebp-8], 0
mov dword ptr [ebp-4], 0
call ___main
push dword ptr [ebp+12]
push dword ptr [ebp+8]
call _fb_Init@8
.Lt_0001:
push 1
push 5
push offset Lt_0003
call _fb_StrAllocTempDescZEx@8
push eax
push 0
call _fb_PrintString@12
call _fb_FileFree@0 ;<--- I keep your app from puking under unexpected conditions
mov dword ptr [ebp-8], eax
.Lt_0002:
push 0
call _fb_End@4
mov eax, dword ptr [ebp-4]
mov esp, ebp
pop ebp
ret
#sda.bas' compilation took 1.825374210980613e-003 secs

.section .data
.balign 16
.balign 4
Lt_0003: .ascii "hello\0"

It's not that hard, just remember to call FREEFILE right before OPEN, _always_. That way, no probs.

Code:

f = FreeFile
Open "superpussy.jpg" For Binary As #f

Always, always tied. And no probs.

Or remember to OPEN the file right after you use FREEFILE.

Now I realize the incredible pun (not intended, I promise) which lies in the tiny code piece of my last post.

:lol:

What pun? All that code piece does is confirm your status as a horny Spaniard. :wink:
