Appending Files

[Bruce Weise]

This has to be a dumb question, but how do I append to an existing text
file in NetRexx.  (That is, can I open a file for Append rather then
Write).  Probably more of a Java question then NetRexx, but I can't seem to
figger it out.

Thanks

Using RXFile (http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/4218),
whenever you open a file you are defaulted to appending data, as in
classic Rexx. Actually, you can use the very same syntax you were
accustomed to use in classic Rexx for every file-related issue.

Hi Bruce,

Read up on RandomAccessFile. It has all you want in reguards to file I/O.

I was just wondering if anyone can tell me why the
following code generates an array of of bounds exception?

       loop i = 1 to fontlist[fontlist.length]
       Say "The font list includes:" fontlist[i]
       end

Unfortunately arrays in Java start at 0, not 1.  Hence the following should
work better:

  loop i = 0 for fontlist.length
   Say "The font list includes:" fontlist[i]
   end

(your original code doesn't even seem to use a number for its TO phrase?)
