Thread: Strings are written on same line

Developed this function to dump the string to file.

But when ever I call this, string is written into the same line. I want this into the next line. Can anybody suggest, what is going wrong in this..

Thanks,
Bye

Code:

bool writetoLogFile(CHAR *buf)
{
	bool bResult;
	ULONG nbytes;
	SYSTEMTIME st;
	char logData[280];
	
	GetLocalTime(&st);

	GetDateFormat( 0, 0, &st, "ddd',' MMM dd,yy",logData, sizeof(logData) );
	GetTimeFormat( 0, 0, &st, "  hh':'mm':'ss tt", logData+14, sizeof(logData) );
	
	strcat(logData,buf);
	logData[strlen(logData)] = '\0';
	logData[strlen(logData)+1] = '\n';
	
	bResult = WriteFile( hLogFile,
						 logData,
						 strlen(logData),
						 &nbytes,
						 0);
	if ( 0 == bResult )
	{
		printf("Can not write to log file\n");
		return 0;
	}
	return 1;
}

You have your null terminator before your newline character, so it never gets read.

Thanks LuckY.

Even if I put the new line first it isn't working.

Let me know, what is wrong.

At last I had to go back to fopen and fprintf.

CreateFile and WriteFile did not work.

Thanks for help
