I will add that asap.
Is there also a StrToFile() for the reverse operation ?

Is there also a StrToFile() for the reverse operation ?

Yes... With some parameters also...

Robert - you can find a complete list of all VFP functions here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/visualstudio/foxpro/f2x2b62b(v%3dvs.71)

In particular, the StrToFile() function is well documented on that site at this url:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/visualstudio/foxpro/ak1w859c%28v%3dvs.71%29

STRTOFILE(cExpression, cFileName [, lAdditive | nFlag])

from xsharppublic.

I will add both functions to the FoxPro runtime. I will start with this runtime (as well as the dialect support in the compiler) after the next release.

Robert, once you begin this VFP runtime, will I be able to pull your incremental commits to it from this public repo? Hoping I can test them locally, even before the future release(s) come out.

Once something is alive in this area of this public repo, I am hoping I could learn how to implement any missing functions, then I can fork the repo, add mode in my fork, then submit pull requests. Isn't that how open-source is supposed to work?

Matt,
Yes you are right, that how it is supposed to work.
However so far we have only lurkers that download changes but no pull requests yet.

Hi Robert,
Browsing some articles on CodeMag, I came upon the "FileToStr" as was written by a VFP developer Markus Egger. I know it don't have all the overlays but at least it gives an idea of the internals of VFP.
protected virtual void StrToFile(string sExpression, string sFileName)
{
FileStream oFs = new FileStream(sFileName, FileMode.CreateNew,FileAccess.ReadWrite);
StreamWriter oWriter = new StreamWriter(oFs);
oWriter.Write(sExpression);
oWriter.Flush();
oWriter.Close();
oFs.Close();
}
}

Remember, pretty much every VFP function was already written for .Net years ago, with exactly the same implementation that VFP uses. I think I've already shared that before...

Some people have already done all the work for us in C#. Find it here:

We have adopted the code contributed by Antonio and Karl-Heinz.
