Hi all,
What I am trying to do is writing my 1D array data into text file. Only one problem coming in my way is that it write only 10 elements array in file and I know that array dimension is 10, but what I want is to add every 10 element of array until I stop a loop by myself. Once again, I mean that I don't want 'array to spreadsheet string' to re-write but want it to expand. (without changing array dimension). Any suggestions?
Thank you..
Solved! Go to Solution.

I'm a little unsure about what you want to do here, from what I can gather you want to continue writing into the file continuously from the same ten element array until you stop it?
If that is the case then it should be a relatively simple matter of creating a for loop to write to the file buffer until you press a button and then exiting the for loop and flushing the buffer.

Hi Amna,
please read the help for the WriteToTextFile function!
Especially the paragraph on the "file path" input! It contains two options to append new data to an existing file...

@GerdW
but before "write to text file" is a "array to spreadsheet string" which is actually replacing 10 elements everytime and not allowing file to be appended.
@ogk.nz
yes I want continous writing to the file.

Hi Amna,
- the "10 element limitation" is due to your ReshapeArray function.
- ArrayToSpreadsheetString is not involved when it comes to appending to or overwriting a file.
- All you need to change is with the WriteTextFile function - as explained before. Read the help!

Ok, so that shouldn't be too hard, if you want it to be writing a row at a time until you press stop.
Could you save your examples for previous versions, I can;t access them to see what you have so far.
