I am using TinyScheme (actually Script-Fu in GIMP), and cannot find a good way to open a file and append a line of text to it.
I am trying to log some info to the file for debugging, and transcript-on doesn't seem to be implemented...
Right now I am scraping along by reading the entire file (one character at a time!), concatenating that into a string, concatenating my text to the end of that, then writing it all out to the file again.
There must be a better way!
It's going to be something like
(open-file "myfile" (file-options append))
You want to look up the file-options
function.
Update
Here's the guile version:
(open-file "myfilename.dat" "a")
Just had the same exact problem in GIMP and decided to use open-input-output-file
. My solution is something like this:
(let* ((out (open-input-output-file "file.txt") ))
(display "hello world" out)
(newline out)
(close-output-port out))
Went through the TinyScheme source and checked that this function actually calls fopen
with "a+"
. The file is open for reading and writing. For our purposes we only want to write, so just ignore reading.
I am writing a Script-Fu to write the values of gimp-selection-bounds
to a file.
