v7.70.0004 - 2008-10-21 14:41

• + Scripting got a new function.
    Name:   WriteFile
    Action: Write data to file.
    Syntax: writefile(filename, data, [on_exist], [mode])
      filename: file full path/name;
                will be created if does not exist yet
      data:     string data to write
      on_exist:
        o: [default] create new file/if existing: overwrite
        a: create new file/if existing: append
        n: create new file/if existing: do nothing
      mode:
        t: [default] text ASCII (1 byte per char);
           wide chars (upper Unicode) are represented by "?"
        u: utf16: 2 bytes per char; with LE BOM at file beginning
           LE BOM = Little Endian Byte Order Mark: 0xFFFE
        b: binary: raw bytes (also 2 bytes per char, but no BOM)
      return: 1 on success, 0 on failure
    Examples:
      ::$a = writefile("C:\Temp\test_A.txt", "text");
        Creates a 4 byte file.
      ::$a = writefile("C:\Temp\test_A2.txt", "text ".chr(20000));
        Creates a 6 byte file.
      ::$a = writefile("C:\Temp\test-U.txt", "text ".chr(20000), ,"u");
        Creates a 14 byte file (2 bytes BOM + 2 * 6).
  
  Note: WriteFile() is implemented as a function (instead of a statement) because the return value will be useful once If/Then blocks are implemented. You may, however, call functions without using a dummy variable. See here below.
• + Scripting: Now you may call functions without caring for the return. For example,
    ::writefile("C:\Temp\test_A.txt", "text");
  instead of
    ::$success = writefile("C:\Temp\test_A.txt", "text");
  Internally, the dummy statement "call" is prepended:
    ::call writefile("C:\Temp\test_A.txt", "text");
  In step mode you will see the return of writefile() as argument of
  "call".
• + Scripting: Comparisons now support the Like (LikeI) operator.
  General form:
    String Like Pattern (case-sensitive)
    String LikeI Pattern (case-insensitive)
  Where string is any string expression and Pattern may contain the usual wildcards and special chars used in XY patterns (*?#[]).
  Examples:
    ::echo "abc" Like "a*"; //1
    ::echo "Abc" Like "a*"; //0!
    ::echo "Abc" LikeI "a*"; //1!
    ::echo "It's " . (<date> Like "20??"?:"not ") .
      "the 21st century";
  
  Note that capitalization matters: "LIKE" or "Likei" won't work.
• * File List: From now on, "Rename On Slow Double-Click" (menu View List Style) will only happen when no other than the clicked item is selected. This is a wonderful and relaxing detour from the Windows Explorer standard where clicking on any out of a bunch of selected files will enter rename mode -- did you really ever want this to happen??
