Waar/Onwaar instead of True/False when writing to file...

I have a real strange language problem...

VB Code:

TextInfo = "pblnBlaa|" & pblnBlaa & vbCrLf
        Open bla.txt For Output As #fnum
        Print #fnum, TextInfo
        Close #fnum

My pblnBlaa hold the value True when I assign a Watch to it...But when I look inside my created file...it has been changed into "Waar" (which is Dutch for true)...

Does anyone know why this occurs??

Hey Chrissie. (Excuse my Dutch, VBForummers ;))

Dit gebeurt omdat je de waarde als "String" op slaat.
De code die je gebruikt:

VB Code:

TextInfo = "pblnBlaa|" & pblnBlaa & vbCrLf

maakt gewoon een tekststring van je variabele. En ja, dat kan dus problemen opleveren in bepaalde taal-versies.

Eén van de de dingen die je kunt doen is het volgende:

VB Code:

TextInfo = "pblnBlaa|" & IIf(pblnBlaa,"1","0") & vbCrLf

Er wordt dan een 1 opgeslagen voor "Waar"/"True", en een 0 voor "OnWaar"/"False".

Teruglezen is dus een kwestie van de 1 weer interpreteren als True en de 0 als False...

Tadaaa :D

Thanks...is their no possibilty to override language settings with VB? So I don't get any Dutch words returned...

OK... So you want to continue in English? Fine.

You CAN override the language settings, but the easiest solution in this case would be this one:

VB Code:

TextInfo = "pblnBlaa|" & IIf(pblnBlaa,"True","False") & vbCrLf

Thought you might have figured that yourself :D Same idea...

This for sure is the best way to get it working...It won't have any problems with other languages by now...and doesn't require any extra code for translating 1 back to true...

True, but I consider it to be Dangerous to read a string as "True" and put it in a variable straight away... Have it your way...

Just a small advice (having read your posts): Try saving your data in a BINARY file, using User defined types. This way you WON'T have to parse all data back, and you can be pretty sure Language problems won't arise...
