Printing to a file

[joedooley71]

Is there a limitation on how many characters you can print to a file?

I created an procedure that creates a html page like this

Print #FileNum, "</table>"
Print #FileNum, "<hr />"
Print #FileNum, "<hr />"
Print #FileNum, "<table class=" & Chr(34) & "style8" & Chr(34) & " style=" & Chr(34) & "width: 100%" & Chr(34) & ">"
Print #FileNum, " <tr>"
Print #FileNum, "     <td class=" & Chr(34) & "style7" & Chr(34) & " style=" & Chr(34) & "width: 162px" & Chr(34) & "><strong>ITEM</strong></td>"

It just stops abruptly _ I cant figure out why. The above is just a sample form the middle of the procedure when I look at the html source - it just stops at about the same place but before the end. I've remmed out lines to see if it is the html but that it doesnt matter - it just stops writing to the file at the same place regardless of the code.

Have you tried making your HTML source code ( that you are printing ) smaller, something like this :

Print #FileNum, "</table><hr /><hr />"
Print #FileNum, "<table class=" & Chr(34) & "style8" & Chr(34) & " style=" & Chr(34) & "width: 100%" & Chr(34) & ">"
Print #FileNum, " <tr> <td class=" & Chr(34) & "style7" & Chr(34) & " style=" & Chr(34) & "width: 162px" & Chr(34) & "><strong>ITEM</strong></td>"

You don't have to write it line by line, only use 'single lines' where absolutely necessary

See if my logic would work

I would actually store the whole HTML variable in a variable, then, only write the variable to the file

do you get an error or does the code complete?
remove any error handling, especially on error resume next, to see if an error occurs

are you sending any characters that are invalid in a text file?
