write -dlX Bug? - mIRC Discussion Forums

Hey guys,

I've a small script

Code:

alias writedltest {
  var %f1 = file1.txt | var %f2 = file2.txt
  echo -a $read(file1.txt,1) deleted 
  write file2.txt $read(file1.txt,1)
  write -dl1 file1.txt
  echo -a -------------------------
}

The first line from a text file should be deleted and the phrase should written in file2.. Script seem legit to me, and isn't very complicated, but got some errors..

in file1.txt are 12 lines, from AAA to LLL.. while I'm running this script I got this result:

Code:

aaa deleted
-
* /write: error updating 'C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\mIRC\file1.txt' (line 142, script.mrc)
-
aaa deleted
-

After that file1 is empty and in file2 are:

Code:

aaa
aaa
aaa
bbb
ccc
ddd
eee
fff
fff
ggg
hhh
iii
iii
iii
iii
iii
jjj
kkk

I can't explain the errors and looking for any fix for this issue.. hope someone can help me..

thanks

I do not have this issue, maybe the file was open and locked by another program.

I changed the path to c:\mirc and changed the script path from appdata\roaming to c:\mirc\ or tried to run mirc via admin but still got this error..

*update*
Tested with 6.35 and round about 500 lines.. working fine without any kind of this issue I've posted above..

*update2*
every time i got this error, mirc builds a new temp file like
mirc52.tm_
mirc113.tm_
mirc175.tm_

...but I don't get any idea, how to fix this issue...

Type the following in mIRC:

//echo -a $version $os $script(0) $dll(0) $file($mircexe).sig $md5($mircexe,2)

Report the results here.

i've deinstalled 7.22 at this moment,

but ma I can help you out with my info

I was using mIRC 7.22 on Win7 x64 without any scripts or dll files

That doesn't help, we require the actual output from the command.

what info do you need?

He clearly said that we need the output from the command from his previous post

This:

Code:

//echo -a OS: $os Mirc: $version $file($mircexe).sig $md5($mircexe,2) Scripts: $script(0) DLLs: $dll(0) COMs: $com(0)

OS: 7 Mirc: 7.22 ok 912dfaee60f144853a33231688312686 Scripts: 1 DLLs: 0 COMs: 0

Thanks for the bug report, unfortunately I was not able to reproduce this issue here. Are you using anti-virus or firewall software? If you disable them and then try to run this test again, do you still see the same issue?
