Streams...

Postby rhartl » September 26th, 2006, 6:41 pm

Can someone help me figure out what I am doing wrong. I am trying to write the contents of an object to a file using TFilestream. The following code writes without blowing up, but when reading the object back in I get a list that is not correct, it has an extra string at the top with a nonsense character.

writing...

Try
AFile := TFileStream.Create(FileName,fmCreate);
Except
MessageDlg('Blew up',mtError,[mbOk],0);
Exit;
End;

FKeyWords.SavetoStream(AFile);

AFile.Free;


reading...

Try
AFile := TFileStream.Create(FileName,fmOpenRead);
Except
MessageDlg('Blew up',mtError,[mbOk],0);
Exit;
End;

FKeyWords.LoadFromStream(AFile);

AFile.Free;

FKeyWords is a TStingList type. It initially contains single random words read from a text file. I then try to write using TFilestream the contents of FKeyWords and read them back out again. FKeywords is part of another object that wraps several lists together. Is that enough?

According to the information you have provided, your code should work.

Maybe if you can provide a complete code, we can figure out the problem.
